Configuring a Policy Server

The Policy Server functionality in a gateway is the Desktop Security Policy management. If you do not enable a Policy Server, the Desktop rule base is not applied.

To define a gateway as the Policy Server:

1. In SmartConsole, right-click the gateway to operate as the Policy Server and select Edit.
   The Check Point Gateway window opens.

2. Enable the Policy Server functionality: In Software Blades > Network Security, select IPSec VPN > Policy Server.

3. Open Authentication.
   

4. From the Users menu, select an existing user group of remote access clients. Users that authenticate to the gateway must belong to this group.

5. Click OK.
