E80.86 - Initial Client

Alex_Gilis · ‎2018-09-18

I am deploying E80.86 in a mixed IPV4/IPV6 environment.

The initial client works perfectly on IPV4 computers, but not on IPV6 ones.

The client isn't sure he could provide me with an IPV6 address for the management IP (and if it would be integrated into the EPS.msi). He's requesting if the MSI can use the DNS name of the server and not its IP address, but I didn't find this setting. In fact, I don't seem to be able to edit what goes into the MSI. Are there any known solutions for this?

See: https://community.checkpoint.com/message/22980-endpoint-client-policy-updates

It's not something in the product just yet, but we have a workaround available through the TAC.

Please open a ticket.

Hi Dameon,

That's exactly the issue here - access with MS Direct Access.

I will open a ticket, thanks for the link and the recommendation.

Alright, I got a reply from TAC with a solution I will test. As it's not exactly user friendly, I hope it will be integrated in an upcoming release.
