Client authentication user has to re-authenticate after every policy install

[KE]

Checkpoint Gaia R77.30 ClusterXL

Client authentication user has to re-authenticate after every policy install.

The client_auth table is cleared after every install.

Any idea?

Thanks!

You need to add the "keep" flag to the client_auth table in the table.def file on your SMS, see here:

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!

In addition to R77.30 being End of Support, Client Authentication is deprecated in R80.x.
Highly recommend you move away from Client Auth and upgrade to a newer release.

Hi,

hast this issue been resolved in R81.10? We are planning to update our management in the next days.

Thanky you,

Grass
