Juniper SSG - NS (config buffer problem)

Symptoms

It is caused by the buffer size, when tufin initiates "get config". It displays only limited part of the full config. This creates a problem while tufin is trying to get the full configuration;

Connection error! Reason:

Connection closed by foreign host.

Solution

set console page 0

> set cli screen-length 0

This allows tufin to get the full configuration as Juniper does not limit its display with a limited buffer.

Tufin Troubleshooting

Device Specific Communication Problems

1.      The version of SecureTrack; Please verify this by running the #st ver command from CLI.

2.      the output of the #top -cd1 command.

1)  Rise the debug level to high :

# sed -i 's/expect --/expect -d/g' /usr/local/st/*login # sed -I  's/normal/fine/1' /etc/sysconfig/stconf.xml

2) Then use tail for each one of the log files of the problematic device :

# tail -F /var/log/st/var/log/st/securetrack.client.<Device_IP>_<ID> /tmp/device1.log

Make sure to use a capital F ('#tail -F')

3)  Then run the command:

'#st restart'

4) Wait for 10 minutes (depends on the current timeout you have

defined) and let the tail -f collect all information needed.

5) Send all /tmp/client<IP>.log files to the support engineer.

7) When you have finished please run :

# sed -i 's/expect -d/expect --/g' /usr/local/st/*login # sed -i 's/fine/normal/1' /etc/sysconfig/stconf.xml

# st restart

Disabling SNX Service (Outbound link of Security Gateway)

Disabling SNX Problem.

When you unchecked SSL Extender and SecureClient Mobile under VPN clients tab (Gateway Properties), the SNX service running on http/https (outbound link of FW) would be disabled as well.

Login to CP FW with Your Public Key & Changing CP Root Password

After you login with Public key, there was a problem to switch to root access with su – command. 

When you type and change root password with...

#passwd

Although it says root password has changed, it does not change (like a bug).

To solve this issue;

After you give a password to root with the command below 

#/usr/bin/passwd root 

then,

changing mode with '#chmod 4755 /bin/su' is enough to resolve the problem. Now, you can get access from your user account (logged in with the public key) to root access. 

In my understanding, there is a permission issue on the directory placed above which does not allow us to change root password (Although it never says so). 

adios.

fw unloadlocal in safe@office!

There is no such a thing, but there is a useful command which can save the day too;

fw delete rule ?

<indexed rules>
1-15 // Depending on size of the rule table.

you may easily delete the last rule which is an implicit deny...

Erasing CMI Temp Files

Case: SmartDashboard could not be opened, giving the Connection and GUI Client Error. When the migrate export file used in sandbox, the problem did not persist. To resolve the issue; the CMI Temp files deleted and forced to be re-created on startup.

1. cpstop
2.  cd $FWDIR/conf
 mv applications.C applications.C.old
  mv applications.C.backup applications.C.backup.old
  mv CPMILinksMgr.db CPMILinksMgr.db.old
  mv CPMILinksMgr.db.private CPMILinksMgr.db.private.old

3. cpstart
