Check Point Came trough and FIXED IT

[haubera]

So you all remember my Issue with not Authenticating @ all times for my Users. Workaround was to telnet and authentication came up. Well Oli from Checkpoint fixed it and the fix was very easy!!! the fix is below!!1 This worked for me so i'am not saying it workes for everyone but after 4 weeks working with the TS Team and not being able to figure out the issue which i have to say their TS team is very good at what the do. So try it if it works be happy

1. We can launch additional security server daemons if necessary. We can do it by editing $FWDIR/conf/fwauthd.conf on the ENFORCEMENT module:
-- ssh to the firewall enforcement module
-- # cd $FWDIR/conf
-- # vi fwauthd.conf
-- change the line: 80 fwssd in.ahttpd wait 0
to: 80 fwssd in.ahttpd wait -4
( the -4 indicates actually we will launch 4 processes if necessary)
-- save and exit the file, then performn step 2 and 3.

2. We can increase the max number of redirected http connections. This requires closing SmartDashboard GUI and using another program called "GUIDBEdit.exe"
-- on your GUI client machine, go to C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\SmartConsole\R65\PROGRAM\
-- launch the program GuiDBedit.exe, and login to the Management server IP using your Firewall admin user
-- go to the Search menu, and click on "Find" and search for:
http_max_auth_redirect_num
-- whenever it finds the value, double click it and change it from "1000" to "2000"
-- in the File menu click on "Save all"
-- open SmartDashboard and install the policy on the firewall enforcement module.

3. restart the firewall enforcement module in order to launch the security server with the new configuration:
-- run #cpstop;cpstart

What was your original problem? Did you have in.ahttpd daemons that would hang? or users that were not getting prompted for authentication?
