Issue
The RSA RADIUS server does not properly append the CP-Gaia-SuperUser-Access return value, even when it is assigned to a user account.
Resolution
1) Import the checkpoint.dct file into your AM Primary and Replica Severs (If you have Replicas).

Log on to the Operations Console on the RSA Authentication Manager instance hosting the RADIUS server > Click Deployment Configuration > RADIUS Servers > If prompted, enter the Super Admin User ID and password, and click OK > Select the RADIUS server hosted on this instance, and select Manage Server Files from the context menu > On the Manage Server Files page > Click the Dictionary Files tab > Click Add New > Select the checkpoint.dct file.

2) Edit the vendor.ini with the following:

vendor-product = CheckPoint
dictionary = checkpoint
ignore-ports = no
port-number-usage = per-port-type
help-id = 2000

3) Edit the dictiona.dcm and add @checkpoint.dct as following:

@bluesocket.dct
@chantry.dct
@checkpoint.dct
@cisco.dct

4) Edit the the radius.ini file.

4.1) Remove the semicolon from the ;[Configuration] section header line if present.

4.2) In the [Configuration] section, if a line exists with AuthenticateOnly as the header, remove the leading semicolon (if present), and make sure the value is 0, not 1. If the line doesn't exist, add this line underneath the line for AuthenticateOnly = 0 Make sure you use the same capitalization, and spacing.

5) Restart the radius and radiusOC service.

6) If the Security Console is opened please close this session and open a new one. Go to your RSA Radius Client for your Checkpoint and select "CheckPoint".

7) Create a new Radius Profile having these Check Point attributes:

CP-Gaia-User-Role
CP-Gaia-SuperUser-Access

8) Assign this Radius Profile to the userid
