[FW-1] How to secure/encrypt HTTP/Telnet client authentication

[Michel Lapointe [Permanent Link]]

Hello,

        I would like to know checkpoint client authentication over port
259(telnet) or 900(http) is secured or does it transmit username and
password in cleartext?

        If it does transmit in clear text, is it possible to secure it
like implementing https on port 900 or any other port?

Thank

Michel Lapointe
