The Resource Application Daemon (RAD) is a critical component in Check Point’s Application Control and URL Filtering blades, responsible for processing and categorizing web traffic. The configuration file $FWDIR/conf/rad_settings.C on the Security Gateway defines settings related to RAD’s operation.

Option A: Incorrect. The rad_settings.C file does not store entitlement information for Application Control or URL Filtering. Entitlements are managed by the Security Management Server and stored in licensing databases, not in this file.

Option B: Incorrect. The rad_settings.C file does not specify how the Security Gateway communicates with the Security Management Server’s RAD service. Communication settings are typically handled by SIC (Secure Internal Communication) and other configuration files, such as $FWDIR/conf/fwopsec.conf.

Option C: Correct. The rad_settings.C file contains proxy settings for the RAD daemon, such as HTTP proxy configurations used for accessing external services (e.g., Check Point’s online URL Filtering database). This is critical when the Gateway requires a proxy to reach external resources for URL categorization.

Option D: Incorrect. Hostname settings for the online application detection engine are not stored in rad_settings.C. These are typically managed by the Application Database (application_db.C) or resolved via DNS.

The process responsible for log indexing and text searching is solr, which is a child process of cpm. The solr process is responsible for indexing the logs and providing the search engine for SmartLog and SmartConsole. The solr process is started by the cpm process and can be monitored by the command cpwd_admin list. The solr process uses the PostgreSQL database to store the indexed data and the Lucene library to perform the text search. The solr process can be affected by various factors, such as the size and number of log files, the hardware resources, the network connectivity, and the configuration settings. If the solr process is not running correctly, the administrator may experience issues with log indexing and text searching, such as slow performance, missing logs, or incorrect results. 

CMI stands for Context Management Infrastructure, which is a component of the Access Control Policy that enables the Security Gateway to inspect traffic based on the context of the connection. Context includes information such as user identity, application, location, time, and device. CMI allows the Security Gateway to apply different security rules and actions based on the context of the traffic, and to dynamically update the context as it changes. CMI consists of three main elements: Unified Policy, Identity Awareness, and Content Awareness.
