Re: Checkpoint smart defance as IPS

[Francois Yang <francois.y () gmail com>]

This is probably a dumb reply, but did you make sure that the SQL
Application Intellienge is actually turned ON.
I know some people turn some stuff OFF because it causes issues.
The other thing would also be to make sure it's using the latest updates.
maybe you should also report your findings to Checkpoint and see what
they have to say.
maybe there's some kind of update or patch or something that they
already have to fix the issues.

In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
