Enter the IPSec groupname in the Group Name field and the new IKE key value
in the New Key field. Reenter the new key for confirmation in the Confirm Key
field. If the values in the New Key and Confirm Key field are not the same, SDM
prompts you to reenter the key values.
The Current Key field displays asterisks (*) if there is a current IKE key value.

User Authentication
If the Easy VPN server or concentrator has been configured to use XAuth, it
requires a username and password whenever the router establishes t he connection,
including when you deliver the configuration to the router, and when you
disconnect and reconnect the tunnel. Find out whether XAuth is used, and obtain
the required username and password.
If the server allows passwords to be saved, you can eliminate the need to enter the
username and password each time the Easy VPN tunnel is established. The
information is saved in the router configuration file and used each time the tunnel
is established.
Choose one of these ways to enter the XAuth username and pa ssword:
•Manually in a web browser window
Note The web browser option appears only if supported by the Cisco IOS
image on your router.
•Manually from the command line or SDM
•Automatically by saving the username and password on the router
The Easy VPN server may use XAuth to authenticate the router. If the server
allows passwords to be saved, you can eliminate the need to enter the
username and password each time the Easy VPN tunnel is established by this
option. Enter the username and password provided by the Easy VPN server
administrator, and then reenter the password to confirm its accuracy.
Note The Current Password field displays asterisks (*) if there is a current
password value. This field is blank if no password has been configured.
