Performing Push Operations

Push operations are operations that the server pushes directly to client computers with no policy installation required.

Note - If there is no response from the Endpoint Security client, the Push Operation will time out after 24 hours. You must reinitiate the Push Operation.

00:00: The Run Diagnostics push operation allows you to collect CPU and RAM usage information of an endpoint for your analysis. 00:09: Log in to the Infinity Portal, access Harmony Endpoint and click Asset Management. 00:15: Expand Organization and select computers. 00:19: Right click the endpoint for which you want to perform the Run Diagnostics push operation, select diagnostics, and then click Run Diagnostics. Note that the Run Diagnostics push operation can be executed only on one endpoint at a time. 00:34: To view the status of the operation, click push operation and view the status column. When the status is complete, click View Report. 00:42: The report shows a graphical representation of the CPU and RAM usage of the endpoint. 00:48: Thank you for watching the video.

VPN Site	Adds or removes a VPN site.   Limitations: This is supported only with the Windows Endpoint Security client. You cannot create separate VPN sites for each user that access the endpoint. The same VPN site applies to all users. SoftID and challenge-response authentication methods are not tested. The system does not validate the entries (for example, Server Name or Fingerprint) that you specify. Only one fingerprint operation is supported at a time. You cannot add a new VPN site or remove a VPN site if a VPN site is already connected in the Harmony Endpoint client. Disconnect the VPN site before you add a new VPN site. This operation is not supported if the firewall policy for the client is configured through the on-premise Security Gateway Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources. (Policy > Data Protection > Access & Compliance > Firewall > When using Remote Access, enforce Firewall Policy from is Remote Access Desktop Security Policy). To enable the operation on such a client: In the Security Gateway, change the parameter allow_disable_firewall to true in the $FWDIR/conf/trac_client_1.ttm file. Install the policy on the Security Gateway. Reboot the Harmony Endpoint client. Perform the push operation. Note - If the operation fails with timeout, see sk179798 for troubleshooting instructions.   Supported fields: Field Description Comment Optional comment about the action. Action Select an action: Add VPN Site Remove VPN Site Add VPN Site Server Name Enter the IP address or FQDN of the remote access gateway. Note - Ensure the endpoint can resolve the FQDN to the IP address of the gateway. Use Custom Display Name Select the checkbox if you want to change the display name of the server in the Harmony Endpoint client. Display Name Server name displayed in the Harmony Endpoint client. By default, it uses the Server Name. To change the display name ,elect the Use Custom Display Name checkbox and enter a display name. Use Custom Login Option Select the checkbox if you want to use a custom login option. Login Option Login option for the server. By default, Standard login option is selected. To use a custom login option, select Use Custom Login Option checkbox, and enter the login option. This must match the Display Name specified in the GW properties > VPN Clients > Authentication > Multiple Authentication Clients Settings in the SmartConsole Check Point GUI application used to manage a Check Point environment - configure Security Policies, configure devices, monitor products and events, install updates, and so on.. For example, SAML IDP. For the Standard login option, make sure that the Authentication Method is Defined on User Record (Legacy). Otherwise, Standard: does not need authentication method error appears. Authentication Method Select an authentication method. The options displayed depend on the Login Option. Authentication methods for the Standard login option: username-password certificate (for a certificate stored in the CAPI store) p12-certificate securityIDKeyFob securityIDPinPad SoftID (not tested) challenge-response (not tested) Authentication methods for the custom login option: Select certificate from hardware or software token (CAPI) Use certificate from Public-Key Cryptographic Standard (PKCS #12) file Other Note - Select the relevant certificate authentication method if your custom login uses a certificate. Otherwise, select Other. Fingerprint Enter the fingerprint key. To get the fingerprint from SmartConsole: In SmartConsole, in the right pane, under Object Categories, click Servers > Trusted CA > internal ca. The Certificate Authority Properties window appears. Click the Local Security Management tab. Under Certificate, click View. The Certificate Authority Certificate View window appears. Scroll down to SHA-1 Fingerprints.

After you add and connect to the VPN site successfully, In Registry Editor, go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\CheckPoint\accepted_cn. It displays a folder with the display name of your VPN site. Double-click the folder. In the right pane, under Name, double-click -- Fingerprint--. The Edit String window appears. Copy the fingerprint key from the Value data field. Click Cancel to close the window. Paste the fingerprint key in the Fingerprint field. Remote Access Gateway Name Enter the remote access gateway name. To get the remote access gateway name from SmartConsole: In SmartConsole, go to Gateways and Servers. Double-click the gateway. The Check Point Gateway window appears. Double-click IPSec VPN. Under Repository of Certificates Available to the Gateway, in the table, expand the DN column. The value after CN= indicates the remote access gateway name. To get the remote access gateway name from the device: In Registry Editor, go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\CheckPoint\accepted_cn. It shows a folder with the display name of your VPN site. Copy the folder name and paste it in the Remote Access Gateway Name field. Remove VPN Site Display Name Enter the display name for the server.	No
Collect Processes	Collects information about the process running on the endpoint.   Supported fields: Field Description Comment Optional comment about the action. Collect all processes Collects information about all the processes running on the endpoint. Collect process by name Collects information about a specific process on the endpoint. Process name Enter the process name. Case-sensitive. Additional output fields Select the additional information you want to view in the collected information.	No
Run Diagnostics	Runs diagnostics on an endpoint to collect this information: Total CPU and RAM usage in the last 12 hours. CPU usage by processes initiated in the last 12 hours. For example, the CPU used by Anti-Malware to scan files. You can review the CPU usage data to identify processes (scans) that consume CPU more than the specified threshold and exclude such processes from future scans. Note - This is supported with Endpoint Security client version E86.80 and higher. Warning - Only exclude a process if you are sure that the file is not malicious and is not vulnerable to cyber-attacks. To view the latest diagnostics report, see Show Last Diagnostics Report.

6. Under User Notification:
