"Connection Failed: Negotiation with site failed" from Mac 15

[eavilesmejia]

I'm trying to connect from MacOS Sequoia 15 by using SAMLVPN, the Check Point client version is E88.00 Build 986201912

Tacking a quick look on logs, i see this snippet (attaching the entire log file):

```

[26 Sep 5:50:10] Starting new connection (0x1)
[26 Sep 5:50:10] Client state is connecting
[26 Sep 5:50:10] Policy changed, restarting connection (0x1)
[26 Sep 5:50:10] Sent ClientHello
[26 Sep 5:50:12] No need to upgrade client, client version is 986201912
[26 Sep 5:50:12] Starting new connection (0x1)
[26 Sep 5:52:07] IKE connection failed, error code=-1000. Reason: Negotiation with site failed.

```

My coworkers are using Windows and they have no issues at all.

Really appreciate you guys if you have any idea or suggestions,

thanks in advance!

Sequoia is not yet supported with the harmony endpoint, you need to wait a bit for a compatible client. Look into this discussion for the same matter: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-VPN/Mac-OS-Sequoia-Beta-1-Negotiation-with-site-fa...

For the context, I believe sequoia will be supported in E88.70, from what I had seen in one post, but lets wait for an official confirmation.

In the meantime, just follow what Val sent.
