[FW-1] AW: [FW-1] FW NG Gui Client Error.



In NG you will find this file (manage.lock) in the $FWDIR/tmp directory. But
it is not sufficient to simply remove this file (as it was with 4.1 and
previous versions), you just have to stop and start the management process.

So you sould use "fwstop -proc" to bring the FW-1 processes down (but
remaining the policy active, if there is any) and "fwstart -f" to restart
them.

The explanation of the two commands extracted from CP Reference Guide:

Furthermore, in FireWall-1 NG there is the ability to run "safe fwstop".
This Allows the FireWall-1 administrator to take down the FW processes (i.e
fwstop) for maintenance without exposing the FireWall machine to attacks.
Usage:  'fwstop -default' - kills the FireWall processes and loads the
Default Filter
        'fwstop -proc' - kills the FireWall processes but keeps the current
kernel policy.

fwstop [-default | -proc]
-proc Kills VPN-1/FireWall-1 processes (fwd, fwm, vpnd, fwssd).
Logs, kernel traps, resources, and all security server connections stop
working.
The Security Policy remains loaded in the kernel. Therefore rules with
generic allow/reject/drop rules, based only on service, continue working.

fwstart -f loads the VPN/FireWall Module and starts the following processes:
  The FireWall-1 daemon (fwd), which creates the VPN-1 daemon (vpnd).
  The Management Server (fwm).
  VPN-1/FireWall-1 SNMP daemon (snmpd).
  The authentication daemons (these are started when needed).

I believe this will help you:

....in the $FWDIR/log directory there is a manage.lock file. Itis created
when a user logs in with the GUI client. If for some reason the session is
dropped and that file is not removed you could have this problem. If you cat
this file it will indicate who the user is.

Remove this file to clear the problem.

You may have to reboot after that, but I do not think so.

Good luck

Hi Guys,

            I'm currently running FW-1 NG no FP yet on a Windows NT 4.0
server.

            I always manage this server remotely without any issues.
However, a recent communication failure while managing this server has
resulted in the below error.

            "Connection cannot be establish.
            Another GUI Client is already connected to the Management
Server:
            'IP Address".

            However, I can logon locally without any issues.  I have done
several reboots all without success????

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance.

Steve.
