Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) Practice Exam

Where can an administrator edit a list of trusted SmartConsole clients?

1. cpconfig on a Security Management Server.

2. In cpconfig and SmartConsole: Manage and Settings > Permissions and Administrators > Advanced > Trusted Clients.

3. WebUI client logged to Security Management Server.

4. Only using SmartConsole: Manage and Settings > Permissions and Administrators > Advanced > Trusted Clients.

The correct answer is: In cpconfig and SmartConsole: Manage and Settings > Permissions and Administrators > Advanced > Trusted Clients.

The correct answer is found in the specific functionalities available within the Check Point environment. Editing a list of trusted SmartConsole clients is a task that requires access to both cpconfig and SmartConsole since they work in conjunction to manage client settings. The second option accurately reflects this dual-access requirement. In SmartConsole, administrators are guided to "Manage and Settings > Permissions and Administrators > Advanced > Trusted Clients," where they can modify the list of trusted clients effectively. This section allows for granular control over which clients are deemed trusted, enhancing the security posture by ensuring only authorized clients can interact with the Security Management Server. It's important to note that while the other options mention various methods, they either lack comprehensive access to the necessary settings or misrepresent the appropriate environment for such configurations. The distinction in access levels across the Security Management Server and SmartConsole critically informs the correct approach to managing trusted clients.
