TACACS servers used do not match across cluster members-checkpoint-gaia,ipso
Vendor: checkpoint
OS: gaia,ipso
Description:
indeni will identify when two devices are part of a cluster and alert if the TACACS servers they are using are different.
Remediation Steps:
Review the TACACS configuration on each device to ensure they match.
How does this work?
Parse the clish configuration database in /config/active and retreive the currently configured TACACS servers. It is also possible to list them using clish, but that generates a large amount of logs in /var/log/messages when done repeatedly.
Why is this important?
If the TACACS servers are configured incorrectly, it might not be possible for an administrator to login to the device.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
An administrator could login and manually run the command.

Listing TACACS servers is only available from the command line interface and WebUI.
