Dear sirs,

We finally got things to work, after a reinstall. :-/ The probable cause of the 
problems was that we used the NG upgrade scripts from 4.1 to NG FP3 on the conf files 
from 4.1. This imported a lot of garbarge that NG probably didn't like very much. We 
verified by doing a clean install, then set up the firewall as we wanted. Everything 
worked. A upgrade after that trashed everything.

So I would not recommend the NG upgrade scripts. :-)

However now that we've got SecuRemote NG FP3 to work with the new clustering firewall, 
we are struggling with SecuRemote 4.1 SP5 DES (yeah, we know. DES isn't really a good 
encryption, but that's what a huge number of users have installed, and we cannot go 
over to the new firewall before SR 4.1 SP5 DES works). Strangely enough SecuRemote 4.1 
SP5 3DES works with the NG FP3 cluster firewall.

Anyone got any experience with this kind of problem, or can explain why DES doesn't 
work with NG FP3 cluster firewall?

Cheers!

Emne: [FW-1] Nokia Cluster not working with SecuRemote/SecuClient


Hey all,

We've been trying to set up a CheckPoint FW-1 NG FP3 cluster and it
works nicely. However, it is not possible to get SecuRemote/SecuClient
to work with it.

We're authenticated just fine, but when the subsequent communications
starts the packets drop and we get the following error in the

"encryption fail reason: Packet is dropped as there is no valid SA",

then right after there is a log entry saying

"IKE: Informational Exchange Send Delete IPSEC-SA to Peer: c312cda3 SPI: 3b754a4b",

and the sequence ends at last with

"encryption failure: Unknown SPI: 0x3b754a4d for IPsec packet".

The setup is IPSO 3.6 FCS4, releng 1061 and CheckPoint FW-1 NG FP3 both
with all current hotfixes applied, running on Nokia IP530 with a W2K SP3
management server also running CheckPoint FW-1 NG FP3 with all hotfixes.
The cluster is running Nokia Clustering with 5 NICs in use. LAN, DMZ, external, sync 
and another DMZ leg on the optional 4 NIC PCI card. The LAN is NATed behind the 
external segment. The cluster is otherwise set up as described on digital migration.

Anyone had the same problems and were able to fix it? We've tried everything we can 
think of, not including ditching the installation and start from scratch.

Our question: Has anyone got that kind of configuration to work, and are
willing to trade the secret with us... we have two really expensive
paperweights at the moment.

Howtos, hints and tips are very welcome.

Thanks!
