SSL Self-Signed Certificate vulnerabily

Hello, 

the Nessus scanner shows vulnerabilities on to the gateways because they use self-signed certificates at the web gaia level.
I want to import certificates signed with our certifications authority, but I am not sure of the impact it will have on the infrastructure, for example at SIC level ...

Thanks a lot

To change the Gaia portal cert: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut...

To my knowledge, you cannot change ICA to use a third party CA.
Most portals exposed to users (as well as VPN) can be configured to use a certificate signed by a different CA.

It is only vulnerability if you do not know who signed those certificates. No actual issue here

First, you do not want to change SIC certs, neither root, nor those issued. If you try, you will have to re-do all SIC with all GWs, not a good idea. 

If your concern is SSL certs only, identify which exact portals are in need to be changed.

Thanks for your rwply.

 

All what i want to do is changing certs on  gaia portal level and really don't want that to impact any other things like sic communication or cluster communication . If there is any doubt about that i will not do any change .

Hello @PhoneBoy 

 

Thank you very much for you reply,

I have one more question please, If i changed the Certificate used by platform portal, should i changed it for all other portals , since all portals on the same Security Gateway IP address use the same certificate ( https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.20_GA/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.20_MobileAccess_AdminGuide/h... )
