Identity collector "Wrong shared secret"

Hi,

I have tried many times to add my gateway to IDC but still have same problem "Wrong shared secret"

I have tried difficult passwords and easy passwords with same result: "Wrong shared secret"

I run a lab environment gateway 81.10:

show version all
Product version Check Point Gaia R81.10
OS build 335
OS kernel version 3.10.0-957.21.3cpx86_64
OS edition 64-bit

 

IDC was downloaded from this link:

https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk134312

Identity Collector - for Windows OS

install policy and then test in IDC and then same "Wrong shared secret"

Maybe something simple like closed port between IDC and gateway

Never seen that before...I dont think version of IC would matter here. Make sure that everything is checked under authentication settings.

Is VIP 10.0.0.4? Try that IP instead and see if it works. I mean, try that for gateway object in IC.

Try this...remove the query pool and see if you get same issue. If so, then I would uncheck IA blade, install policy, recheck and teest.

I did both and still "Wrong shared secret"

I am very confused, I am trying this on my lab only to see if i get same problem as my production, which is that all logs are "failed log in"

but my lab environment refuses!! "Wrong shared secret"

And you are 100% positive you are typing the same secret?

I got Windows firewall disabled for this test sake.

Would you explain: "

  1. "Wrong Shared Secret" occurs when connecting a Security Gateway to Identity Collector if the Authrized Clients object defined within the Gateway Properties on SmartConsole has the wrong IP.

"

What is the "Authrized Clients object"?

So in that case, it was just new shared secret...not sure what else to say, sorry mate : - (. Lets see if Peter Elmer responds to your youtube video comment.

Ah, gotcha...good job. I just assumed machine you had there was the one where IC was installed.

Glad you got it now.

This one is: 

  1. "Wrong Shared Secret" occurs when connecting a Security Gateway to Identity Collector if the Authrized Clients object defined within the Gateway Properties on SmartConsole has the wrong IP. 

Do you see any traffic reaching on the fw? Should be HTTPS

The 'Wrong shared secret' error message is misleading in this case. It should be replaced with a message that clearly guides users on how to fix the issue.

I agree 100%, should be more user friendly, or intutitive, if you will.
