OPSEC Integration

This integration is between Check Point NGX (R60), Connectra NGX, Check Point NG with Application Intelligence (R55) and Entrust IdentityGuard 8.1. The aim of this integration is to allow strong, 2-factor authentication to the Check Point IPSEC and SSL VPN solutions using Entrust IdentityGuard.

The integration of Entrust IdentityGuard and a Check Point solution requires a RADIUS server that supports challenge-response, an integral part of the RADIUS standard. To illustrate this integration, the Funk Steel Belted RADIUS Server was used to illustrate how to configure a RADIUS server with the Check Point gateways; deploying organizations can choose to leverage any RADIUS server that supports the RADIUS challenge response message.

This integration works for both the entry of Entrust IdentityGuard grid values, as well as temporary PINs.
