Solution Summary

This section describes Check Point Gateway integration with RSA ID Plus. Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.

Use Case

Check Point Gateway can be integrated with RSA using My Page SSO, Relying Party and RADIUS. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to Check Point Gateway.

Integration Types

RADIUS integrations provide a text-driven interface for RSA within the partner application. RADIUS provides support for most RSA authentication methods and flows.

My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to Check Point Gateway users' leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR. 

Relying party integration allows Check Point Gateway users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to RSA Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Authentication Service can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication depending on the service provider's capability.

Supported Features

This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with Check Point Gateway using each integration type.

Configuration Summary

This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate Check Point Gateway with RSA using all of the integration types.

This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.

All RSA and Check Point Gateway components must be installed and working prior to the integration.

All of the supported use cases of RSA with Check Point Gateway require both server-side and client-side configuration changes. This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
