Checkpoint Connectra and Internet Explorer 7 and 8

With the arrival of Internet Explorer 7 and 8 remote users connecting to anything SSL-related have to explicitly click on the warning message link to continue browsing . It also includes Remote users connecting by SSL to Checkpoint Connectra that works with self-signed certificate . Sounds like a minor nuisance but ... certificate error HTML page that Connectra presents to the user is too small to click there on anything and to make things worse is NOT resizable. There are probably more sofisticated ways to solve it , but I solved it simply - edited HTML template Connectra uses to create this page.

Below I changed resizable from "0" to "1"
[Expert@fw]# pwd

    /var/opt/CPsuite-R65/fw1/conf/extender

[Expert@fw]# grep 'resizable' index.html

     extender = window.open('pre_login.html','pre_login','width=155,height=133,menubar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=no');
     extender = window.open('extender.html','pre_login','width=438,height=324,menubar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=0,status=0,titlebar=no');
     help_win = window.open( "help.html", "Help", "toolbar=0,status=0,width=800,height=600,scrollbars=0,resizable=0" );

PS. Of course you always have the option of buying a certificate for the Connectra from recognized authority CA, say Thawte, then IE will not pop up the warning window.
