The header of the user certificate is like: firewall-1-internal-ca.pem (CA certificate is first one in file) and vpnjuan-cert.pem (user certificate is normally the second one in file) The header part of the CA certificate is like: Split singe file into different ones, results in e.g. Retrieving DER-encoded CRL from CheckPoint wget Converting DER-encoded CRL to PEM-encoded and store it in related directory openssl crl -in ICA_CRL1.crl -inform DER -outform PEM -out /etc/ipsec.d/crls/checkpoint.crlĬonvert user certificate generated by Check Point Management from PKCS#12 to X.509Įxtract private key of user PKCS#12, you have to specify first the import password (remember: given in GUI) and an export password openssl pkcs12 -in vpnjuan.p12 -nocerts -out tempkey.pemĬonvert private key of user to RSA: openssl rsa -in tempkey.pem -des3 -out /etc/ipsec.d/private/vpnjuan-key.pemĬopy firewall-1-cert.pem (provided by your network admin) in /etc/ipsec.d/certs/ firewall-1-cert.pemĮxtract certificates of user from PKCS#12 to X.509 (results in a file containing the CA and the user certificate) openssl pkcs12 -in vpnjuan.p12 -nokeys -out temp2.pem pk12 certificate and put them in the right directories: I am not going to explain all the “History/Theory” as it has been already well documented in the Check Point Firewall-1 NG(X) tutorial.
