156-587 Exam Dumps : Check Point Certified Troubleshooting Expert - R81.20 (CCTE)

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.
