  • In SmartDashboard R75.47 - R77.x

    In SmartDashboard, go to the "Help" menu and click on the "Sync with UserCenter...".


    Clicking "Sync Now" button runs a relevant script on the Security Management Server. The script collects information from the Security Management database, as well as from the managed Security Gateways and writes it into the $FWDIR/conf/SMC_Files/SU/data_file.xml file.

    Checking the box "Periodically sync server and gateways data with UserCenter" will run the script once a week.

    Once the information is sent to Check Point, User Center can present it in the list of "Software Products & Appliances".

    Note: In Multi-Domain Security Management Server environment, this feature is only available per Domain context. Currently, it does not work with Multi-Domain (MDS) context.
