Why each option
The Check Point Client Authentication daemon listens on two specific default ports for HTTP and HTTPS authentication traffic.
The Client Authentication daemon listens on port 259 for HTTP-based authentication and port 900 for HTTPS-based authentication by default. These ports must be permitted in the security policy for client authentication to function. Understanding these defaults is essential when creating rules to allow users to authenticate through a browser-based method.
Ports 256 and 257 are not assigned to the Client Authentication daemon; they are associated with other Check Point internal processes.
Port 8080 is a common HTTP proxy port and 529 is not a recognized default port for any Check Point authentication service.
Port 80 is standard HTTP and is not the default for the Client Authentication daemon, and 256 is not paired with it for this service.
