Post-Installation Configuration

You can use the Check Point configuration tool (cpconfig for Security Management Server or mdsconfig for Multi-Domain Security Management) to configure settings after installation:

Licenses and Contracts: Add or delete licenses for the Security Management Server and Security Gateways.
Administrators: Define administrators with Security Management Server access permissions. These administrators must have Read/Write permissions to create the first Security Policy.
GUI Clients: Define client computers that can connect to the Security Management Server using SmartConsole clients.
Make sure that no firewall blocks port 19009 between the management server and SmartConsole clients.
Certificate Authority: Starts the Internal Certificate Authority (ICA), which makes connections between the Security Management Server and Gateways. For Windows, you must define the name of the ICA host. You can use the default name or define your own. The ICA name must be in the host name.domain format, for example, ica.checkpoint.com.
Fingerprint: Save the certificate fingerprint when you log in to SmartConsole clients for the first time.
