Introduction to the WebUI Application

The Check Point Appliance uses a web application to configure the appliance.

After you use the First Time Configuration Wizard (see the Check Point Appliance Getting Started Guide), when you connect to the appliance with a browser (with the appliance’s IP or, if the appliance is used as a DNS proxy or DHCP server, to "my.firewall"), it redirects the web page to a secure https site and asks for administrator credentials. When you log in, you can select the Save user name checkbox to save the administrator's user name. The name is saved until you clear the browser's cookies.

When you log in correctly, the WebUI opens to Home > System. The left pane lets you navigate between the different pages of each of these tabs:

To log in to the WebUI in a different language:

In the browser page that shows the Login window, select the language link at the bottom of the page.

The log in page changes immediately to the selected language. The next login from the same computer is in the selected language (saved in a browser cookie). The language is kept until you clear the browser's cookies.

Note - If the locale of a user matches a localized WebUI, the Login window automatically loads in the specified language. Only English is supported as the input language.
