Community Highlights

Here are some highlights from the week's activity on CheckMates:

Working With Postman 

Postman is a great tool to allows you to experiment with APIs, such as the ones we provide as part of Check Point Infinity. Peter Elmer‌ wrote a nice document on how to do exactly that. What do you plan to build with our APIs?

Read only / write mode switching in R80 

For those who recently upgraded to R80.10 from R77.x, the inability to switch between Read Only and Read/Write mode is worth noting. It's not as much of an issue as it was in R77.x, though, given multiple users can login with Read/Write mode.

 

Here's your chance to let us know the kinds of content you're looking for on CheckMates, some of which comes from our Technical Marketing team!
