Client VPN Certificate Expiration warning

MrSalazar — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 15:01:39 GMT

Dear CheckMates,

Im currently searching a way how to deactivate all Check Point Client VPN Certificates warning, which appears on the Clients wtiht he warning that the certificate will expire in X Days.

Apperantely setting the line "certificate_renewal_warning_only“ on the File "trac.defaults“ as False does not help.

Any ideas or maybe im missing something ?

Thanks in advanced.

Those warnings shouldn’t show by default, if I’m reading this correctly: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/RemoteAccessClients_forWindows_AdminGuide/Topics/Certificate-Enhancements.htm?Highlight=certificate_renewal_warning_only

Which makes me wonder if this is the same error.
What version of client?
What is the precise error? (Screenshot would help)

Hello PhoneBoy,

Thanks a lot for your response, this is the warning what im talking about (See attachments).

Basically translated to English, saids that "Your certificate will expire in -1 Days, please contact your system administrator."

I'm pretty sure that warning cannot be suppressed since it's saying the certificate has actually expired (versus about to).
Why are you keeping an expired certificate?
