CHKP054 - Session Timeout Below Gateway Minimum
Agent error code #CHKP054 indicates that the per-identity session timeout Knocknoc sent with the identity was below the minimum the Check Point gateway will accept. The gateway rejected the registration as a result.
When Knocknoc registers an identity it sets a session timeout derived from the grant's remaining lifetime, so the gateway cleans the identity up on its own if the agent is offline when the grant expires. Check Point enforces a minimum on that value, 300 seconds (five minutes) by default. If a grant's lifetime is shorter than the gateway's minimum, the gateway rejects it.
Common causes include:
- The Knoc's Maximum Grant Duration is shorter than the gateway's session-timeout minimum
- The gateway's minimum has been raised above the default 300 seconds
Steps to Resolve
Raise the Maximum Grant Duration (Recommended)
- In the Knocknoc admin interface, open the affected Knoc
- Increase Maximum Grant Duration so grants always exceed the gateway's minimum, at least five minutes for a stock gateway
- This is the recommended fix for production
Or Lower the Gateway Minimum
- If you need short-lived grants, lower the gateway-side Identity Awareness session-timeout minimum to match
- This loosens the automatic cleanup window slightly, so use it only when short grants are a deliberate security choice
