Hi,



Yesterday we upgraded our Clustered Nokia VRRP pair of IP 530s from IPSO 3.7.1 
and NG R54 to IPSO 4.0 build 30 and NGX R60 HFA02.



Today I can no longer connect to the remote access vpn using SecureClient. When 
I try to create a site I get Error: Communication with site x.x.x.x failed. 
Looking in SmartView Tracker I can see an Accepted entry from my IP for 
FW1_topo (264) but nothing more.



Another user can connect to the vpn with his existing SecureClient policy but 
gets an error during the connection 'unable to communicate with policy server 
on cluster01'.



We upgraded all of the central licenses that were attached to the gateways to 
NGX and re-attached them. A policy server license is attached to one of the 
gateways and the cluster object properties show that the SecureClient Policy 
Server option is selected.



SmartView Tracker is showing that users are still able to connect to the vpn 
and is logging decrypted traffic against usernames.



Does anyone have any ideas?




- We had a similar issue when upgrading to NGX R61 from R60,
the solution was to allow both Firewall's IP's as allowed agenhosts(s)
on our RSA  server which we use for secureclient authentication.

Apparently there was a behavior change, in the sense that from
that release the cluster did not use the cluster IP address when
accessing the RSA server, but now the individual IP's of the cluster members
were used.

Aaaa...H, guess we ow the world the reason why we get paid each month :-)
