I HATE CP with a passion beyond belief... I mean, why, WHY you couldn't include a command line interface that allows me to grep a CSV file in which I'm requested rules, format them properly and then send them to the firewall??? Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to add access rules to a CP FW based on a text file, correct?
ANY way to automate my job (or part of it), so I don't waste countless hours of my life being a simple interface between a requestor & a firewall?
So far, the only thing I could think of is creating a script that: 1) Gets the Excel file from the Remedy system 2) Converts it to CSV 3) Check the source & destination IP addresses and add a column indicating in which FW I need to do the change.
I spoke to Check Point at Infosec Europe in April and they mentioned they are working on 'scripting' but they didn't elaborate. In the meantime, I have found this https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R77/CP_R77_CLI_ReferenceGuide_WebAdmin/105997.htm but it still feels like they are shoe-horning in this functionality rather than developing it properly.
