Hi, please help me.
I am trying to perform a SCV check where I need a registry check. This is to distinguish Harmony VPN clients from regular EndpointSecurity VPN clients.
In the local.csv file, I have added this check:
I also tried different variations of writing the registry path and this is what tech support sent me
Policy Server is enabled, Desktop Security is added to policies, but no matter how hard I try I can't figure out what my error is.
The problem is that it's like scv is not being applied. and a normal client can still connect.
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
have you checked if the local.scv file you edited on the MGMT server is being uploaded to the gateway?
can't remember the exact location anymore on the gateway so you'll need to do a "find / -name local.scv"

The changes are in the first file, which is the one that I've edited:
the change should be in everyone else?
I don't think I did it right. Are you talking about the mgmt server? So local.scv should have been edited there? I edited it directly to the gateway...😨
And here's the output from the mgmt server. Which one should be edited exactly, the first one?
Its the first one

correct the first one should be edited
take a look at https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk38702 it describes what to configure in order to use local.scv
try to go through each step and see if you configured it on your side
Can you also suggest what is the logic behind the scv operation. I have achieved that when connecting via vpn, a warning about a compliance violation pops up, but the connection is still made. Did I understand correctly from the guide that in order to block the VPN connection I need to set :disconnect_when_not_verified (false) in scv ?
That is, having the "Block client's connection" checkbox checked is not enough ?
it should disconnect you after 10-15 seconds
For some reason, the connection is not dropping. There is a RemoateAccess community in the rules. Do you know what else could be the reason?
