Managing pre-shared keys (passwords)

Managing pre- shared keys (passwords)

When using pre-shared keys (passwords), you must define an identity "template" in Sidewinder that matches all possible client identities used by the remote entities in your VPN.

To define remote certificate identities on Sidewinder, use the same procedure as defined in "Defining remote client identities in Sidewinder" on page 3-13.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to specify Extended Authentication, as described in the next section, when configuring the VPN on the Sidewinder.
