DESCRIPTION

 

Pre-Shared Key

Type your pre-shared key in this field. A pre-shared key identifies a

 

 

communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called "pre-shared"

 

 

because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate

 

 

with them over a secure connection.

 

 

Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62

 

 

hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. You must precede a hexadecimal key

 

 

with a "0x (zero x), which is not counted as part of the 16 to 62 character range

 

 

for the key. For example, in "0x0123456789ABCDEF", 0x denotes that the key

 

 

is hexadecimal and 0123456789ABCDEF is the key itself.

 

 

Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the same pre-shared key. You will

 

 

receive a PYLD_MALFORMED (payload malformed) packet if the same pre-

 

 

shared key is not used on both ends.
