Introduction
This document provides step by step instructions for setting up a Remote Access VPN
with Check Point R80.x. Some prior experience with setting up Check Point environment
is assumed, and also basic understanding of IPSec VPNs principles.

Our objective is to enable a Layer 3 Remote Access solution using a VPN agent
installed on a Desktop/Laptop (Endpoint Security VPN for Mac/PC, Check Point Mobile
for Windows, or SecuRemote).

To assign different levels of access in active directory, an HR and an Engineering group


have been created.

Depending on the group a user is a member of they will be given different access into
the environment.

Note: Client-side settings are not covered.

10. Click on Finish and then go into Identity Awareness and uncheck Terminal Servers
and confirm Remote Access is checked. The reason for this step is to enable
identity awareness for Remote Access so we can apply policy to users based on
their AD group.
