Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1

HTTP/HTTPS connections are blocked


AERAsec Network Services and Security GmbH


 

Platform:  Any platform for an Enforcement Point of Next Generation 
Product: Check Point Next Generation FP3/AI
Problem: A connection using HTTP/HTTPS is blocked by NG. The global properties and SmartDefense have not been modified.
Workaround/Fix: This might be reasoned by the dependency between SmartDefense and the filtering of HTTP/HTTPS. A first try to make the connections work is to turn off the HTTP Worm Catcher in SmartDefense. You do this disabling this feature by Policy > SmartDefense > HTTP > General HTTP Worm Catcher. After an install of the modified rulebase, the connection should work, if it fits the other needs defined in SmartDefense.
