Hello,

I'm getting strange errors when I tried to run my playbook; I tried many things that was recommended but I can't seem to fix the issues. Please assist, thanks.

Error -

Command 'add-host {u'name': u'host_demo_2', u'ip-address': u'1.2.10.110'}' failed with error message: message: Missing header: [X-chkp-sid]

code: generic_err_missing_required_header

. All changes are discarded and the session is invalidated.

Most likely you haven't enabled the API server from all IPs.

Thanks for the response. I was able to resolve the issues, the problem was related to account permission in smart dashboard.
