VPN Always on

[handiansudianto]

How we can implement Checkpoint remote access VPN to always on or auto connect?

Trying change authentication method using 'username password' and 'certificate' but for some hour (8 hours) the vpn is disconnected and should reenter the password.

Depending on your client flavor, see Global Properties:

if we increate the interval we still need to reauthenticate by typing the username and password on the client.

What i want is the vpn always ON every time, so if need to reauthenticate this process can be done automatically without human intervention.

Certificate-based authentication should not require entry of a password if the certificate is stored in the computer's Certificate Store for Windows and Mac.

i already test using certificate p12 but still need the password to enabling the vpn

[PhoneBoy]

Do you have password caching enabled in Global Properties > Remote Access > Endpoint Connect?

[handiansudianto]

it's disable, will try to enable and let see if the vpn can always on or not after enabling this.

yes connect  mode already set to always but the vpn need authenticate by enter the password both for 'user & password' and 'certificate p12' auth method.

Make sure password cashing is enabled as Phoneboy said, as well as try set re-authenticate setting to 1440 mins (24 hours)
