VPN Authentication Credentials (Local/Remote Identifiers) For Remote Access VPN
- by thatidiotguy
So I am trying to set up a remote access VPN using the free ShrewSoft vpn client:
https://www.shrew.net/software
I want to use a PSK as the authentication mechanism combined with XAuth so that a connection requires a valid username/pass combo. Under the authentication tab this particular VPN Client however is asking for a Local Identity and a Remote Identity.
The options for Local Identity Type are:
Fully Qualified Domain Name
User Fully Qualified Domain Name
IP Address
Key Identifier
The options for Remote Identity are:
Any
Fully Qualified Domain Name
User Fully Qualified Domain Name
IP Address
Key Identifier
My current thinking is that I can use the Fully Qualifed Domain Name provided by the remote firewall for the Remote Identity, but I do not know what it wants for local identity.
Just to stress: I am not trying to set up a site to site VPN.
Can anybody shed any light on what I am missing here? A screenshot can be provided if that would be helpful.
The current error I am getting during the connection is:
IKE Responder: Proposed IKE ID mismatch
