AWS Gateway Load Balancer Auto Scaling Group upgrade user data script issue

[ajsingh]

Hi Everyone,

I am running into issue where I am trying to upgrade my AWS scaleset from R80.40 to R81.20. 

I am following https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/IaaS/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_CloudGuard_Network_for_AWS_Gateway_Lo... but having issue where editing User data file.

On page 92 it says to update user data file and i just dont know the correct syntax of the file. 

I tried putting plain SIC password and base64 encoded but always get error  : 

2024-11-12 14:59:53,688 CME_SERVICE  ERROR Failed to initialize SIC with gateway instance AWS_Internal (sic-state= uninitialized). Make sure the One-Time Password configured in CME is correct.

I did check sk180606 - CloudGuard Network for AWS provisioning/deployment fails because of incompatibility with ... but still not able to find right way to enter parameter value's. 

I have the sic password with me from my old user data file of R80.40 template but seems like am not using or entering it in a right way. 

Can anyone please help me with some examples or guide me ? 

Much apprecited.

Hi,

it should look like this :

sic="$(echo MXEydzNlNHI1dDZ5 | base64 -d)"

If I remember correctly, you need to base64 the hashed password.

Hi,

I tried the same syntax and followed the : sk180606 but no success. Still same error complaining about one time password in CME. 

I am using template version2 0230117 . I feel like this is not a password issue as same password is  working with R80.40 version but not  with R81.20 version
