Re: [FW-1] Logging on the Nokia Platform



One must have a valid support license with CP or a CP reseller.  If you do,
it's trivial to get an ID.  If not, CP doesn't want anyone in there and
public support is the only "official" option I know of.

you must have a userid/password to get to these documents.  is there a
generic way to get in or what must one do to get into this site.  the
public
access is not always that great.

Checkpoint solutions to your errors:

https://support.checkpoint.com/gold/idsearch.jsp?id=10043.0.
236&QueryText=%28%22fwauthd%3A+cannot+run+server+polsrvd%22%29&

https://support.checkpoint.com/gold/idsearch.jsp?id=skI1458&QueryText=%2
8%22fwauthd%3A+will+try+late%22%29&

Once again, Checkpoint support isn't all that helpful.  We get the same
errors but they do not interfere with our logging.

Subject: [FW-1] Logging on the Nokia Platform


Hello,

I am having trouble with logging in my particular environment, and as I
have been researching, I am not sure that I am taking the best approach
or even fully understand how logging works with Firewwall-1 on the Nokia
platform.

My environment:  Nokia IP 440 with Checkpoint FW-1 4.1 SP1 managed by an
NT4 sp6a box  (soon to be upgraded to Win2k) running FW-1 GUI &
management console 4.1.

The problem:  We are logging a lot.  The management station is happily
gathering logs from the FW.  After some period of time,  it stops
gathering logs.    The NT Event Viewer shows 2 errors that seem to
correspond (first:  FireWall-1: fwauthd: cannot run server polsrvd:
Authentication Services are unavailable. Connection refused.
 Second:  FireWall-1: fwauthd: will try late... (x times left) )

I've seen an article on Nokia's site about an RDP Stability Fix (Oct
2001).  That sounds like it may help; but  it requires me to upgrade to
SP5 which also is going to require me to upgrade IPSO (My budget has
been slashed, and I don't have a lab environment to do it in first, so I
need to do a lot of research and would prefer to wait until I can obtain
consulting $$)

In searching Nokia's site, I've seen articles on switching and exporting
logs directly from the 440 itself - which brings me to a few more
questions.

It sounds like I *can* do log management right on the Nokia.  Is that a
better way to go ?  (do a logswitch,  export, and then ftp over to the
management station)

Logging as I understand it (on the Nokia platform) works similar to
this:

The Nokia stores the logs.  When the fw service is running on my NT
management station, it pulls the logs down.  When the service is not
running on my management station, the logs accumulate on the Nokia.
(which I can later pull down manually by using the -h in addition to the
+ or - flags on logswitch).

If the best way to fix it (and get the results that I need) are to
upgrade, then that's what I'll do.  Just a tad nervous about upgrading
the only device that connects us to the Internet - without an easy
rollback...

Thanks!

Arron
