- I am using a Check Point firewall
- I exported the internal firewall user database, and imported it into LDAP using the ldif format.
- I can see the users through the user piece in SmartDashboard. I deleted a user from LDAP through the SmartDashboard.
- I tested client authentication using this deleted user.
- SmartTracker shows that the firewall did not find the user id.

From what I understand, the firewall should check the internal DB for the user, if not found, it will check LDAP. It does not appear to be checking LDAP. Is there something I am missing?

LDAP server is SunOne DS 5.2 no service packs. It was previously Netscape iPlanet DS, but Sun bought them.

Thank you so much for your help
