Abstract
This chapter discusses how to install, configure, and maintain a SecurePlatform or SecurePlatform Pro installation. SecurePlatform is quite easy to install and configure. The web user interface (WUI) is a browser-based method of configuring SecurePlatform. The command line interface (CLI) allows one to configure SecurePlatform, and is preferred since there are many more options than the WUI. The CLI offers a CPShell to configure system and CheckPoint products. Expert mode offers a bash shell for configuring and editing the file system. Some of the utilities that SecurePlatform has to offer are backup/restore, upgrade_ export/upgrade_import, and patch add. These utilities enable one to keep the SecurePlatform installation up to date and safe. The chapter also explores applying Hot Fix Accumulators (HFAs) to SecurePlatform. Doing this helps to keep the operating system as well as the CheckPoint products running smoothly and securely. Finally, some of the differences between SecurePlatform and SecurePlatform Pro are explored in the chapter. These differences include management of administrators via Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS), and the dynamic routing suite.
