CLI support for Linux (and Mac) was provided through a special build of SNX provided here: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut...
This is the only publicly available SNX build that supports access from the CLI.
If you need a different SNX client that supports the CLI, please work with your local Check Point office.

"Authentication failed" means user credentials are not working.

that is not it because when I use the same credentials from a windows machine it works fine

Not aware of our precise plans here.
Recommend raising the issue through your local Check Point office.

We support using the StrongSWAN client with R81+ gateways but your admins will have to perform specific configuration to support this.

I will ask one of my colleagues about this, as I know he made it work for a customer on same OS version.

Sorry to bring back this old thread but I upgraded my SNX client from 800007116 to 800008303 as part of our attempt to move from on-prem to cloud, using the shell script provided by CheckPoint - and now I cannot connect to the old VPN (on-prem) with authentication failed. Obviously, my OS (Ubuntu 20.04) didn't change, and I was connected with it for over a year. So the not supported OS seems wrong here.

Coming late to the party, but for people visiting the thread: Checkpoint/SNX does not support logins/working from the Linux command line anymore. 

Got to do it with SNX+Cshell agents installed+a browser.
