Good Day All,
I've recently been tasked to Automate certain changes via the Checkpoint API as a PoC. I'm currently creating a Group (with add-group) and add members with it, and it succeeds.
The problem is I noticed that you need to publish to the API before those changes are made and accepted. I've tried playing around with the Publish API endpoint after making changes with a specific SID, but if i Publish, the response i get seems like the Login Page for the Gaia Login Page:
Invoke-RestMethod "https://$($DomainIP)/v1.8/publish" -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body

I am completely new to the Checkpoint API, and to clarify, i am not at all a Subject Matter Expert on Checkpoint Firewall Technology so i might be missing something.
I would appreciate it greatly for some guidance on how to publish these changes.
Thanks!
Andre
