(1) Background {#Background}
----------------------------

To proactively enhance the security of our online update services, Check Point will ***gradually*** migrate certificates on its servers  
from SHA-1 based to SHA-256 based starting in ***June 2016*** (with a major migration in ***October 2016*** ) and ending in ***November 2016***.

**Important Note: If the required packages are not installed by that time, Check Point Software on your machine
will fail to communicate with Check Point online download / upload services once the certificates migration process is completed.**{#Anchor_update_services_operation_fails}

Check Point online download / upload services are used by Check Point software for:

* downloading of signature updates / protections
* verification of license information
* uploading of data to Check Point User Center / Check Point Cloud

(5) FAQ {#FAQ}
--------------

Click Here to Show the Entire FAQ

* What happens if I do not install this hotfix on some of my Check Point machines?  
  > Check Point machines, on which this hotfix was not installed, will not be able to connect to Check Point servers and perform operations like signatures updates (IPS blade, Anti-Virus blade, other blades), Licensing, Contracts, etc. - refer to this section.

  <br />

* Do I have to install this hotfix on all my Check Point machines at the same time?  
  > This hotfix is intended for each machine individually. It does not affect the communication between Security Management Server / Multi-Domain Security Management Server and the managed Security Gateways.  
  > Meaning, you can install this hotfix on a Security Management Server, and after some time install it on the managed Security Gateways.
  > In addition, refer to *Question 1*.

  <br />

* Is this hotfix compatible with other hotfixes I have installed?  
  > Some hotfixes replace the same files. In cases where a private hotfix provided by Check Point Support is installed, there might be a conflict between the hotfixes, and hotfix installation will be aborted with specific message about what fixes exactly conflict with each other.
  >
  > [Contact Check Point Support](http://www.checkpoint.com/services/contact/index.html) to get a combined Hotfix that contains all the required fixes for your Check Point machine  
  > For faster resolution and verification, please provide the following:
  > * Specific message about what fixes conflict with each other
  > * [CPinfo file](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk92739) from the involved Check Point machine

  <br />

* Do I have to install the improved SmartDashboard? What does it add?  
  > The improved SmartConsole is required to be able to work with Check Point servers - operations like signatures updates (IPS blade, Anti-Virus blade, other blades), Licensing, Contracts, etc.

  <br />

* What is the impact on the production when installing the no-reboot R77.20 hotfix package instead of the "regular" one?  
  > The previously released R77.20 "regular" hotfix contains all the previously released R77.20 recommended hotfixes. One of such integrated R77.20 recommended hotfixes requires reboot.
  >
  > The fix for SHA-256 certificates is only a user space library file and installing it does not require reboot.
  > A "lighter" hotfix package was created for R77.20 Gaia that includes *only* the fix for SHA-256 certificates to allow installing the required SHA-256 fix without rebooting the machine.  
  >
  > This "lighter" hotfix package should not conflict with other hotfix packages that might already be installed on the R77.20 Gaia machine:
  > * If other hotfix packages are already installed on the R77.20 Gaia machine, then you should be able to easily install this "lighter" hotfix package on top of them.
  > * If this is a cleanly installed R77.20 Gaia (without any hotfixes), then you can easily install this "lighter" hotfix package, and later you should be able to install other desired hotfix packages on top of it (however, other hotfix packages will require a reboot).
  >
  > <br />
  >
  > In case any conflict between the hotfixes is detected, the installation will automatically be aborted with relevant explanation that mentions the conflicting hotfixes. [Contact Check Point Support](http://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/index.html) with this information. For faster resolution and verification, please also collect [CPinfo files](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk92739) from the Security Management Server and Security Gateways involved in the case.

  <br />

* Are there offline updates available for Software Blades?  
  > Yes. Refer to:
  > * [sk93724 - IPS Offline Updates](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk93724)
  > * [sk92509 - Offline updates for Threat Emulation images and engine](https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk92509)

  <br />

* Was this fix integrated into Jumbo Hotfix Accumulators?  
  > Yes - fix for online *download* services was integrated into all known Jumbo Hotfix Accumulators.

  >   #### Instructions for Small Business appliances (600 / 700 / 1100 / 1200R / 1400)
  >
  >   Firmware R75.20.70 (or higher) and R77.20 GA (or higher) contain this fix.
  >
  >   Due to its size, the ***curl_cli*** binary file was excluded from firmware image.
  >
  >   Therefore, to use the above instructions for Security Gateway / Security Management Server, [contact Check Point Support](http://www.checkpoint.com/support-services/contact-support/index.html) to get the *curl_cli* binary file.  
  >   A Support Engineer will make sure the file is compatible with your appliance before providing it.  
  >   For faster resolution and verification, please collect CPinfo file from the SMB appliance involved in the case.
  >   1. Transfer the *curl_cli* binary file that you received from Check Point Support to the appliance - to the */storage/* partition.
  >
  >   2. Connect to the command line on the appliance.
  >
  >   3. Log in to Expert mode.
  >
  >   4. Transfer the *curl_cli* binary file to */opt/fw1/bin/* directory:
  >
  >      ***\[Expert@HostName:0\]# cp /storage/curl_cli /opt/fw1/bin/***
  >   5. Assign the relevant ownership and permissions:
  >
  >      ***\[Expert@HostName:0\]# chown 105:80 /opt/fw1/bin/curl_cli***   
  >      ***\[Expert@HostName:0\]# chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /opt/fw1/bin/curl_cli***
  >   6. Run the following command on the appliance with an Internet connection and configured DNS servers (**Important Note:** HTTPS Inspection should be disabled on the Security Gateway):
  >
  >      ***\[Expert@HostName\]# curl_cli --verbose --cacert /opt/fw1/bin/ca-bundle.crt --tlsv1 https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com***
