DESCRIPTION

 

Authentication

Enter the authentication key, which depends on the authentication algorithm.

 

Key

MD5 - type a unique key 16-20 characters long

 

 

 

 

SHA1 - type a unique key 20 characters long

 

 

You can use any alphanumeric characters or ,;`~!@#$%^&*()_+\{}':./<>=-". If you

 

 

want to enter the key in hexadecimal, type “0x” at the beginning of the key. For

 

 

example, "0x0123456789ABCDEF" is in hexadecimal format; in

 

 

“0123456789ABCDEF” is in ASCII format. If you use hexadecimal, you must enter

 

 

twice as many characters as listed above.

 

 

The remote IPSec router must have the same authentication key.

 

 

The ZyWALL ignores any characters above the minimum number of characters

 

 

required by the algorithm. For example, if you enter 12345678901234567890

 

 

for a MD5 authentication key, the ZyWALL only uses 1234567890123456.

 

 

The ZyWALL still stores the longer key.
