Overview
The test drive environment includes the following components:
The Windows machine is pre-installed with the Check Point SmartConsole (R77.30)
Graphical User Interface clients.
The Linux server is pre-configured with a web server.
In addition, a Google Compute Engine forwarding rule, is set up to receive HTTP traffic
on a dedicated public address and forward it to the Check Point gateway.
When you launch the test drive you will receive an email containing information about
the test drive environment.
This email will include:
- The password needed to authenticate to the Windows and Check Point vSEC
Gateway
- The public address of the gateway
- The public address of the Windows machine
- The URL of the protected web application
In this test drive we will be using SmartConsole, a group of Windows based graphical
user interface (GUI) clients, to manage and monitor the security policy of the Check
Point vSEC gateway.
If you already have the clients installed on your computer you can use them to directly
connect to the public address of the Check Point vSEC gateway.
Alternatively, you can use the Windows machine with the pre-installed clients.
Step 1.1a
If you do not have the clients installed, you can use the Windows machine in the test
drive environment where the clients are already pre-installed.
Proceed to step 2.
Step 1.1b:
If you already have the SmartConsole clients pre-installed, you can use them to directly
connect to the Check Point vSEC Gateway.
Open SmartDashbaord.
Open the SmartViewTracker client application. We will be using this application to see
logs.
You can do this directly from the SmartDashboard application thus:
Navigate to the IPS tab and change the assigned IPS profile from the
Default_Protection to the Recommended_Protection.
View the generated log by navigating to the IPS blade (All) view in SmartViewTracker:
Click on OK
You should see several logs indicating that a connection was opened from the web
subnet to social network web sites similar to this:
