You must define the same value at the remote peer. The key must contain at least 6 printable characters and should only be known by network administrators. For optimum protection against currently known attacks, the key should consist of a minimum of 16 randomly chosen alphanumeric characters.

If RSA Signature is selected, select the name of the digital certificate that the FortiGate unit will use to authenticate itself to the remote peer during phase 1 negotiations.

Peer Options These options are available to authenticate remote dialup clients or VPN peers with peer IDs or certificate names, depending on the Remote Gateway and Mode settings.

Select Accept any peer ID to accept the local ID of any remote client or VPN peer.

If the remote peer has a domain name and subscribes to a dynamic DNS service, select Accept this peer ID and type the fully qualified domain name of the remote peer. This value must be identical to the value in the Local ID field of the phase 1 remote gateway configuration on the remote peer.

To grant access to selected remote peers or clients based on a peer ID, select Accept this peer ID and type the identifier. This value must be identical to the value in the Local ID field of the phase 1 remote gateway configuration on the remote peer or client.

To grant access to dialup users based on the name of a dialup group, select Accept peer ID in dialup group and select the name of the group from the list.

To grant access to selected remote peers or clients based on a certificate distinguished name, select Accept this peer certificate only and select the name of the certificate from the list. The certificate must be added to the FortiGate configuration through the config user peer CLI command before it can be selected. For more information, see the “config user” chapter of the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.

To grant access to selected remote peers or clients based on the name of a certificate group, select Accept this peer certificate group only and select the name of the group from the list. The group must be added to the FortiGate configuration through the config user peer and config user peergrp CLI commands before it can be selected. For more information, see the “config user” chapter of the FortiGate CLI Reference Guide.
