The database is stored on the management station in the file fwauth.ndb which lives in the directory; on unix platform:$FWDIR/conf, nt platform:winnt\fw1\4.1\conf. However, when you authenticate you are being prompted by the fw who then queries the database to see if you are indeed a valid user and what encryption scheme you are using.

If you are using IKE the password you have to change is located in the user properties -> encryption tab -> edit your IKE properties and this is the place where that encryption scheme password is stored. For FWZ it is stored in User Properties - > Authentication tab. Most people change the password in just one of these places and are not aware of what scheme they are using. I hope that helps.

What I did was a 'fw dbload <fw module>' on the commandline and that worked OK. I must add that I experienced these problems when I suffered from strange GUI errors also. Deleteing old rulebases solved this, but I haven't added users since, so i don't know if that was somehow related to the problem you posted.. Hope this helps..

Everytime I add a new user, or change the password of a current user the details don't replicate to the place that securemote actually authenticates against. I select to install database, which FW-1 reports it has done sucessfully. Does anyone know where exactly the database should be going to? Is it to the Firewall or the managment server? (Our Securemote 'Site' is the valid address of the managment server, but the database seems to be installed to the firewalls) SecuRemote works fine - but new accounts don't. There are a number of us using the same account because this is the only one that we can get to work. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on here?
