Hello
Problem is solved. I had installed policy server before I added proper licence. I 
removed policy server and installed it again. It helped. After that I had to add 
Desktop Security to my policy. I haven't any problem with disappearing Desktop 
Security tab so far as you wrote but  everything before me. So thanks everyone. I 
still have another problem but I will write in seperate topic.

Regards
Pawel Serwatko

Not sure the reasoning for removing the Desktop Policy other than the following:

When saving the policy, you are only saving the current policy you are working with 
(e.g. the Rule Base and NAT, or the Desktop Policy). This is ONLY the policy, not any 
objects. By saving rule bases this way, you will eventually cause the policy installs 
to slow down. This is because every time you install policies, the install process 
will check (verify) every policy before pushing it (this is new in NG).

One way to get around this problem is to use the "Database Revision Control" option 
instead. This will not only save the rule base, but also the object and any other rule 
base open at the time. You can then use this feature to role back to a known good rule 
base in the event you push a policy that breaks things. This also solves the extended 
time for the policy push.

The other neat feature when using the "Database Revision Control" is you can actually 
see the database as it was for a log entry by right-clicking on a log entry and choose 
"View Rule in Smart Dashboard" (FP3 and AI only as far as I know - assumes there is a 
database revision for the time during which the log entry was made).

Hope this helps,

Chris

I'm not sure if this will fix your policy server being down or not, but I have some 
information regarding the Desktop Security tab.

For some reason known only to Checkpoint, they have added an "enhancement"
(at least in FP3, not sure about AI) where everytime you save a policy that contains a 
Desktop Security policy, the Desktop Security tab disappears. They claim to have done 
this on purpose, but I don't understand why.

They have a simple 19 step workaround for this enhancement. If you have a user account 
you can go to the non-public Secure Knowledge database and do a search on "Desktop 
Security tab is not available". This should bring up sk19441. I have no idea why this 
isn't available on the public database.

I hope this helps. If you have a problem getting the workaround let me know and I'll 
spell it out for you.

[FW-1] Policy server problem






Hello
I'm trying to configure Secure Client with desktop policy and I have a problem. I 
installed proper licence on FW server, then checked "Secure Client Policy Server" in 
General Properties of firewall object. Then I created and selected proper user group 
for policy server in Authentication tab. Finally I installed this policy on firewall 
server. I don't know why but status of my Policy server is still down. I don't have 
any idea what to do to make it in up status. Maybe there are other options to 
configure.
I have some manuals about Secure Client and there is something called "Desktop 
security tab". I don't have any tab like this in Smartdashboard.
Maybe this tab appears when Policy Server is in up status. Can anyone help me with it?
I have FW NG FP3 HF305 on Windows 2000 server.

Thanks a lot
Pawel
