I am connecting with Check Point Endpoint Security VPN to my companies VPN. The client was NOT preinstalled or preconfigured. I just installed it, clicked "New" put in the server address "vpn.company.com" and connected using username and password.
This just worked which is good since I have no information about the VPN and nobody seems to know more.
Now I want to connect with a different client. Either FortiClient or the integrated MacOS client. But there is so much to configure and I cannot get it to work.
How does Check Point do all that? Can I somehow see the configuration?
I can chose between L2TP over IPSec, Isco IPSec and KEv2 in the Mac client and SSL VPN or IPSec in FortiClient.
After that there is a multitude of additional settings. But I don't have a certificate or a shared key.
Does anybody have an idea how this works and how to setup the clients?

The documentation specifies that the settings are stored in theTRAC File,
stored in C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect.
By default the file is encrypted. To view or edit, you need to first
open the trac.defaults file and on the first Line change the value of OBSCURE_FILE INT from 1 to 0.
The Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN service must be restarted for this
to take effect.
