• DER ASN1 DN
If you chose FQDN, User-FQDN, or DER ASN1 DN as the identifier type—

STEP 4 In the IKE SA Parameters section, enter these settings:
The Security Association (SA) parameters define the strength and mode for
negotiating the SA.
• Encryption Algorithm—Choose the algorithm used to negotiate the SA:
- DES
- 3DES
- AES-128
- AES-192
- AES-256
• Authentication Algorithm—Specify the authentication algorithm for the
VPN header:
- MD5
- SHA-1
- SHA2-256
- SHA2-384
- SHA2-512
Ensure that the authentication algorithm is configured identically on both
sides.
• Authentication Method—Choose one of the following options:
- Pre-Shared Key—Choose this option for a simple password-based key
that is shared with the IKE peer. Then enter the key in the space provided.
Note that the double-quote character (“) is not supported in the pre-
shared key.
- RSA-Signature—Choose this option to disable the pre-shared key text
field and use the Active Self Certificate that was uploaded on the
Security > SSL Certificate page. A certificate must be configured in
order for RSA-Signature to work.
