Configuring ICS to Fail Open
If you want to minimize disruption to your users, you should configure ICS to ‘fail open.’ 
This means that end point users that are not running a supported operating systems can 
still access your network, without being serviced by ICS.
1
Log into the ICS Administrator Console.
2
Go to the Gateway Configuration tab.
3
In the section Settings for end points running a non-supported OS select Allow 
access to end points running a non-supported OS
.
4
Click Save.
This procedure causes those unsupported users to bypass all the scans and 
security features of ICS. These unsupported end point users are not protected by 
ICS. Users with supported operating systems are still protected.
Configuring Updates
Check Point periodically releases updates to client components, such as support for new 
anti-virus providers. When updated versions of the client components are available, you 
can download them. Client components include the following:
Security Scanner
Enforcement agent
Java and ActiveX launchers
It is recommended that you update your system once a week. If you do not update ICS, 
your system will be out-of-date and you will not have the best protection available. 
How to Update Your ICS System:
1
Log into the ICS Administrator Console by supplying the default user ID and 
password.
There are a number of methods to locating and logging into the ICS 
Administrator Console from within the OmniVista SafeGuard Manager. For 
example, you can select ICS Admin from the Other Actions pull-down menu. See 
the OmniVista SafeGuard Manager Administration Guide for details.
NOTE:  
You must have a DNS server configured in order to update 
ICS. See Configuring for Domain Name Service (DNS) Server in the 
OmniAccess SafeGuard OS Administration Guide.
