Environment: FireWall-1 4.1, SAM, fw sam, Putkey, Opsec Putkey, Authentication, Distributed environment
 
Symptoms:
"fw sam" command fails when issued from the FireWall-1 Management moduleError message in the Windows Event ViewerError: "FireWall-1:Authentication from <Management/Module> failed"Error message in the Unix ConsoleError: "FireWall-1:Authentication from <Management/Module> failed""fw sam -v" output shows: "sam: Unexpected end of session. It is possible that the SAM request for <command parameters> was not enforced. Authentication with <Management/Module> for command fwn1_opsec failed."
 
Cause:
The "fw putkey -opsec" secret key does not match on the VPN-1/FireWall-1 Management and Gateway modules.
 
Solution:
Issue the "fw putkey -opsec" command again on all VPN-1/FireWall-1 machines involved and enter the same secret key. If the command still fails refresh all "fw putkey" commands on all VPN-1/FireWall-1 machines involved.
