First Time Access Issue- AWS Checkpoint Management Server

I deployed a Check Point SMS in AWS using the AWS AMI and can SSH into the new server and set up the expert password.

However, I’m unable to access the Web UI. I’ve tried the credentials admin/admin and admin with a blank password, but neither works and I receive a “permission denied” error.

I also see the following message when running config_system from the CLI:_

 

[Expert@i-03deb9e61073c64a1:0]# config_system
Error: options are missing
Usage: config_system <options>
where config_system options include:
-f|--config-file <path> Read first time wizard configuration
from <path>.
-s|--config-string <string> Read first time wizard configuration
from string.
-t|--create-template <path> Write first time wizard configuration
template file in <path>.
--dry-run Verify that first time wizard
configuration file is valid.
-l|--list-params List configurable parameters.

If both, configuration file and string, were provided, configuration
string will be ignored.
Configuration string should consist of parameters separated by '&'.
Each parameter should include key followed by value e.g. param1=value.
For the list of all configurable parameters and their descriptions,
create configuration template file with config_system -t <path> .

config_system is a way to pass a pre-defined configuration file through the First Time Wizard.
If you want to configure via the WebUI, then you need to log in via SSH (using the SSH Key you provided) and set the password for the admin user using the clish command: set user admin password MySuperSecretPassword
