Hello,
I'm working for a client who uses Check Point Endpoint Security VPN for their remote access solutions. I have a server address and password-protected certificate (p12) which I can use to authenticate and get VPN access. This works fine on Windows using Check Point's client.
How can I use the same certificate to connect to this VPN using a Linux endpoint, preferably using a terminal client?
I realize Check Point doesn't provide its own Linux client, but I would assume the protocols used aren't home-brewed, meaning an existing Linux client could probably be used (e.g. Openswan).
I couldn't find any guides or other form of documentation in Check Point's knowledge base, and all forum posts related to VPN+Linux discuss username+password-based authentication, not certificate-based.
Thanks for any help with this.
Hi, we have touched that in our Remote Access VPN FAQ article, quoting:
The answer is yes. Here are two community posts about how to set up and use strongSwan (Roadwarrier) and Libreswan 3.23 with R80.30, both written by @Soeren_Rothe.
