As a firewall administrator you encounter the following you error message:
Authentication for command failed.
What is the most logical reasoning for thus type of error message?

A.
The Rule Base has been corrupted.

B.
The kernel cannot communicate with the management module.

C.
The administrator does not have the ability to push the policy.

D.
Remote encryption keys cannot be fetched.

E.
Client authentication has failed.

Explanation:
this is a well known issue, the error message “Authentication for command failed” is a Kernel
related problem when it cannot contact its assigned management module, this could happen when
we loose our trust relationship between the infrastructure components. See checkpoint web site
documentation for more information.
Incorrect Answers:
A: This is an authentication related problem, not a rulebase one.
C: We are authenticating the command, not the administrator who issued it.
D: We don’t need to fetch encryption keys when issuing a command, the kernel relies in its trust
relationship.
E: This kind of authentication is used inside the rulebase for users, in the question we have a
system authentication problem between the components.
