Configuring SNMP to Use SHA Authentication

SNMP authentication is determined by the Check Point devices settings. Unless specified by the device, SNMP is authenticated with MD5.

We recommend that you backup the stconf table prior to making any changes.

To configure the SNMP communication with Check Point devices to use SHA authentication:

1. Go to: https://<SecureTrack_IP>/stcgitest.htm
2. Click Edit StConf.
3. Click Fetch StConf.
4. Add this line to the StConf file:

   <snmp_auth_method>SHA</snmp_auth_method>

5. Click Submit New Conf.

6. From the CLI of the SecureTrack server:

   # st restart <check_point_mgmt_id>
