How to import a PK & Certificate for IPSEC VPN on R80.30 Gateway

[jeery222]

Hi

I’m configuring a certificate-based VPN between a Check Point R80.30 gateway and two third-party firewalls located in separate data centers. The client has provided a third-party VPN certificate and private key file that I need to import.

In SmartConsole, under the gateway's VPN settings, I only see options to generate a new certificate via the internal CA but cannot find an option to import the provided certificate and private key. The Client Certificates option in the GUI doesn't seem to apply for this use case either.

Is there a way to import third-party certificates directly through the SmartConsole GUI in R80.30, or is there an alternative method (e.g., WebUI or SmartUpdate)? I do not have CLI access for this setup, so I'm limited to the GUI.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Follow sk149253, the process is documented there.

Just a note, R80.30 is a long time out of support, you want to upgrade to the recommended version, which is R81.20.
