4.2 Peer: Authentication Attribute
Two main methods for user authentication are supported in the SpeedTouch™:
pre-shared key
certificates
The user authentication parameters used for IKE negotiations are bundled in a
descriptor with a symbolic name.
This is called the Authentication Attribute. For pre-shared key authentication, this
attribute holds the pre-shared key. For authentication with certificates it simply
indicates the authentication method. The Authentication Attribute parameters are
explained in section 4.2.1.
An Authentication Attribute is required as one of the parameters to successfully
create an operational peer. The peer refers to the Authentication attribute by its
symbolic name. So, as an initial preparatory step to define an operational peer, a
valid Authentication Attribute is created.
The following topics are discussed in this section:
4.2.1 Authentication Attribute Parameters
4.2.2 List all Authentication Attributes
4.2.3 Create a New Authentication Attribute
4.2.4 Set or Modify the Authentication Attribute Parameters
4.2.5 Delete an Authentication attribute
