 Re: CCSA NGX Feedback
As for LDAP, it's usually briefly covered in the Authentication sections of various books, e.g. Sybex CCSA; Chapter 6, Essential Check Point Firewall-1 NG; Chapter 8, Syngress NGX; Chaper 9 (very little in that one).
Another resource worth checking is the CheckPoint_R60_SmartCenter_User_Guide.pdf |
