Installing and Configuring a Policy Server

• Install the Policy Server from the Check Point NG AI CD-ROM or from a package off of the Check Point Web site.

• Enable the Policy Server as an installed product in your firewall object.

• Set the user group to use with the Policy Server in the Authentication tab of your firewall object.

Desktop Security Options

• Set up your desktop security rulebase and configure the global policy properties for desktop security.

• If desired, configure desktop configuration verification to specify what should happen if the security policy is broken.

• Add a client encrypt rule to the standard rulebase and edit the client encryption action properties.

Installing SecureClient Software

• Remote users can install SecuRemote/SecureClient directly from their Check Point NG AI CD-ROM.

• The latest version of SecuRemote/SecureClient software can be obtained from Check Point at www.checkpoint.com/techsupport/downloads_sr.html.

• You can use the SecureClient packaging tool to preconfigure SecureClient, and bundle it into a package that remote users can easily install.

Logging into the Policy Server

• When a remote user loads SecureClient, it automatically logs into the policy server and receives the most recent security policy.

• SecureClient periodically logs into the policy server (approximately every 30 minutes) to check for any security policy updates, and send logs back to the policy server.

• Users can also explicitly log in to the policy server through SecureClient.
