Traditional Mode properties are only used when you have a Traditional
Mode policy in place (which uses Encrypt rules for VPN).  The default
since R55 is to use Simplified Mode which uses VPN Communities.  In this
mode, shared secrets are stored in the VPN Community, not in the gateway
properties.

It used to be possible to read the shared secret stored in the
Community, but Checkpoint has changed the GUI to make the secret
unreadable in recent versions.  If you don't have the secret recorded
somewhere else, you will just have to set up a new secret.

They are not stored in an unencrypted file somewhere.
