Check Point Mobile Agent Download: A Step-by-Step Guide

When installing a Check Point Operating System, also known as Gaia, on your device for the first time, several default settings are created automatically. This includes a Private Key, CSR (using default parameters), and a Self-Signed Certificate. However, these defaults can sometimes cause problems during SSH connections.

To avoid such issues, it is essential to comment out the `Defaults requiretty` option in the `/etc/sudoers` file by enclosing it in a comment syntax to remove it from parsed code. This step is crucial for successful installation of the Network Agent.

Selecting an Account to Run the Task

When running the task on your device, specify the settings of the user account that is used for device connection through SSH. Be aware that installing the Network Agent with SSH on devices running Fedora versions earlier than version 20 may result in an error.

Settings Page of the New Task Wizard

On the Settings page of the New Task Wizard, select the 'Using operating system resources through Administration Server' check box to ensure a smooth installation process.

Creating a Remote Installation Task

To create a remote installation task with the correct settings:

1. Create a remote installation package: Download the Network Agent installation package and view its dependencies for each package on your own using utilities specific to your Linux distribution.

2. Make sure dependencies are installed: Before installing the package on the device, ensure that it already has all the necessary dependencies (programs and libraries) installed.

3. Download and create an installation package: Connect to the device through SSH again and make sure that the Sudo service does not prompt you to enter a password by using the `sudo whoami` command.

Disabling Sudo Password

To disable the sudo password for the user account under which the device is to be connected:

1. Open the sudoers configuration file: Use the `visudo` command in `sudo` to open the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file.

2. Specify the username and permissions: In the file, specify the following: `username ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL`.

3. Save the file: Save the changes if necessary and restart the SSH service using the `sudo service ssh restart` command.

Verifying Connectivity

Before you can connect to the device through an SSH client (such as PuTTY), ensure that:

1. Sudo is installed on the target Linux device: Check whether you can connect to the device through an SSH client.

2. The /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has correct settings: Make sure that the following settings have the respective values listed below:

* Check if you can connect to the device through an SSH client (such as PuTTY).

* Ensure that sudo is installed on the target Linux device.

By following these steps, you will be able to prepare your Linux device for remote installation of the Network Agent.
