The Authentication page allows you to define Authentication Attributes.
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 is a named descriptor, bundling the authentication
parameters. The following data need to be provided:
Parameter
Possible values
Authentication
A text string
name

Type

Secret

The Preshared Secret has to be entered twice in order to protect against
typing errors.

authentication attribute. This name is
used in the Peer Profile.
Pre-shared key authentication method

Authentication with certificates.
When pre-shared key authentication
is used, enter the pre-shared key

Irrelevant in case of authentication
with certificates. In this case, leave
this parameter unset.
