  • 1.  VPN with Checkpoint

    Posted Oct 27, 2023 01:53 PM

    Hello  i was wondering if i could authenticate with certificates with checkpoint with clearpass

    i bealive that for that we need to request the certificate for the clearpass just like we do for the wireless and wired  WPA2 enterprise  and install that certificate in the clearpass.

    After that i was thinking in something simple like this but im not sure if the service is correct 

    I have no  checkpoint to try this config 

    This service would work? or this is more complicated that i need to configure more things? 

    On the checkpoint im aware they need to configure on their checkpoint that their radius server will be the clearpass and that they need to configure that it will be with user certificates.  But i just want to know if this service is okay or its wrong?

    Thanks

    Not a Check Point expert, but it depends on what you can configure on the VPN Gateway. If that supports EAP authentication and the client supports EAP-TLS authentication, this may work. You might need to return additional attributes as well to control firewall policies for the user.

    The certificate flow in this case would never leave the CheckPoint.  The firewall would be the one terminating the certificate based authentication.  Cisco firewalls have the option of authorize-only which sends authz requests to ClearPass to apply different parameters based on the information in the various certificate fields.  Does checkpoint have a similar feature?
