[R80.10][API] Retrieve policy package from Checkpoint API, fingerprint not approved error

[Romain_Chicot]

Hello all,

I'm trying to retrieve a policy package with objects using Checkpoint API.

I would like to use the web_api_show_package script,"$MDS_FWDIR/scripts/web_api_show_package.sh"

I end up with  an error, when I look in the generated file, I have the following lines indicating a fingerprint issue :

[Mon Aug 05 14:46:40 CEST 2019 com.checkpoint.mgmt_api.examples.MyLogger.debug()DEBUG]: The parameters that were received:  showPackagesList:(-v)=true

 I checked API and SMC fingerprint and they are different. Is it the reason why it's not working ?

Would you have an idea to manage through this error ?

Try running the script with the -b flag, which should cause it to ignore the fingerprint error.
