Unable to authenticate to AD from remote access client

Hi!

One of our customer is facing the following issue when authenticating to AD from Check Point's remote access client:

When configuring their AD, if they select the option to allow users to authenticate only to certain computers, the remote access client fails to authenticate to AD, even when they specify the name of the computer correctly. If they allow users to authenticate to any computer, the client connects just fine and works flawlessly. They used to have the restricted option working well with Juniper before migrating to Check Point.

Thoughts?

I assume it's because the authentication request is coming from the gateway, not the client.
What if you add a host the represents the gateway to the desired configuration?

Figured it was something along these lines. We'll try and let the community know the results.

Thanks for your reply.
