hi,

certivicates are more secure than username/password authentication (that you have with radius).

if you have connection problems with your client-VPN I don't think this is related to the authentication method.

Hello Gurus,



Has anyone compared the Checkpoint VPN authentication schemes? Which one is
better the RADIUS or using Checkpoint VPN Certificate? I'd like to compare
the reliability of those schemes. Currently my company is using the VPN
certificate scheme, but it seems that the authentication fails frequently.
The errors are such as gateway not responding, negotiation fail, etc.  Has
anyone experienced this?

Suggestions, advices, or thoughts are highly appreciated.



Thanks in advance,

Edward
