Checkpoint VMSS deployment - Auto-provision test fails

[Abhishek_Singh1]

Hi Guys ,

I am deploying the Checkpoint VMSS solution in Azure .

For some reason the autoprovison test is failing with the below error -

.

Any idea what could be the issue ? I am using the latest autoprovision.cfg - version 509

Have you triple checked the syntax of your autoprovision script (to include your Subscription ID, App Registration/clientID , Tenant ID and your Secret phrase)?

We had to go through the script building process several times.  It's best that you don't tinker with the XML file and use the autoprov-cfg command to build the script out.

You mess one character up in the XML file and it's game over and you'll be scratching your head forever.

Yes, i am checked the syntax, everything looks perfect. 

Also, with autoprovision-cfg show all, I can see the proper settings. 

It's only when I run the service test command I get this error . 

I have not touched any settings anywhere else. 

Btw what version of autoprovisioning you ran, may be the latest ( version -509 ) is buggy... Thoughts? 

[Abhishek_Singh1]

I have re-initialised the autoprovision service multiple times in different management servers as well but with no luck. 

@PhoneBoy - Is this a known bug for the autoprovision (ver-509) on R80.30 ?? 

I have raised a SR on this with TAC  , just wanted to know if you have any info or relevant folks that can look on this in priority. 

Issue recap - 

Checkpoint VMSS in Azure setup - Autoprovision issue

Installed the latest autoprovision (version - 509) and initialized the autoprovision service with the initial syntax successfully.

The autoprovision show all - display all the correct values for mn, tn, controllers, etc.

However, the "services autoprovision test " Commanda fails with some ssl error. Refer the attachment.

So it turns out the SMS is behind a Gateway firewall , which has HTTPS inspection enabled . Causing the SSL error on the test script.

After adding a temporary bypass rule , I am enable to get the test run successfully.

I wonder why the Checkpoint autoprovison script is not compatible with HTTPS inspection on Checkpoint . Sounds funny .

@PhoneBoy  - Worth raising this with the R&D .

[PhoneBoy]

The CA store used by the autoprovisioning process does not include the CA key used for HTTPS Inspection on managed gateways.
As a result, it's unable to validate the TLS certificate presented by the gateway when the connection is inspected, causing the connection to fail.
I suppose this could be automatically updated somehow, but that'd be an RFE.
