Quantum Spark Checkpoint SMS provider for LATAM?

FerPr0c03 — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 18:51:19 GMT

I currently have a Quantum Spark 1570 on version r81.10.05
Ask them if 2FA vpn remote access with "Checkpoint SMS provider" is available for LATAM?

I have made the necessary configuration with, however I do not receive any SMS.
I have tried different phone numbers from different providers and it doesn't work.

Currently the Check Point SMS provider is only supported in Israel and Japan per: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk168173

Hi @PhoneBoy ! Any plans to support Check Point SMS 2FA provider service in more regions (LATAM included) ??

I hope that at some point it will natively support token authenticator apps, like Google Authenticator or some Check Point mobile app that allows biometrics 🙂

Can't speak to the specific plans on the SMS provider supporting additional locations.
If it's required, I recommend reaching out to your local office.

Remote Access SAML support was added in R81.10.05, though it wasn't formally tested.
This should allow pretty much any type of authentication (depending on the IdP used).

According to @Amir_Erman earlier today, all countries should be supported with R81.10.05.

Hi @PhoneBoy thanks for the update.

I have tested from Bolivia and it still does not work. 😞
