Defining SmartProvisioning as a SmartConsole

This section describes how to define the workstation on which the SmartProvisioning SmartConsole is installed, as a Check Point SmartConsole client.

To define the SmartProvisioning SmartConsole:

1. On the Security Management Server, open the Check Point Configuration Tool (cpconfig); in a Multi-Domain Security Management environment, open the mdsconfig tool or the SmartDomain Manager.
2. Select the GUI Clients tab.
3. Identify the SmartProvisioning workstation by any one of the following:
   • IP address
   • Machine name
   • IP/Net mask: Range of IP addresses
   • IP address with wildcards: For example: 192.22.36.*
   • Any: Enable any machine to connect to the Domain Management Server as a client
   • Domain (Multi-Domain Security Management only): Enable any host in the domain to be a recognized GUI client

Defining SmartProvisioning Administrators

Login permissions to the SmartProvisioning Console are given to administrators, which are defined in SmartDashboard or in the Check Point Configuration Tool. In SmartDashboard, you can further define specific permissions of administrators. In particular, you can define an administrator's permissions for provisioning devices with SmartProvisioning.

To edit the Permissions Profile of an administrator of SmartProvisioning:

1. Open SmartDashboard.
2. Open the Administrator Properties window of a new or existing administrator.
3. Click the New button that is next to the Permissions Profile field.
4. Select Customized and click Edit.
5. In the General tab, make sure that SmartLSM Security Gateways Database has Read/Write permissions.
6. In the Provisioning tab, define SmartProvisioning permissions for this administrator.

   Option	Read/Write	Read Only	Deselected
   Manage Provisioning Profiles	Add, edit, delete, assign provisioning profiles to gateways	Assign existing provisioning profiles to gateways	Provisioning features are unavailable
   Manage Device Settings	Edit all gateway network settings	View gateway network settings	Gateway network settings are unavailable
