alphanumeric characters.

Peer Options Depending on the Remote Gateway and Mode settings, you may have a
choice of peer options to authenticate remote dialup clients or VPN peers with
local IDs, peer IDs, or certificate names. The local ID, peer ID, or certificate
name that you specify must match the local ID, peer ID, or certificate name of
the remote client or peer for the remote client or peer to start a VPN session
with the FortiGate unit.

client or VPN peer.
Select Accept this peer ID to accept a remote client or group that has a
particular local ID or peer ID. Enter the value.
Select Accept peer ID in dialup group to accept remote clients that belong
to a particular dialup group. Select the group of dialup users.
Select Accept this peer certificate only to accept a remote client or group
that has a particular digital certificate. The certificate must be added to the

specific certificate holders” on page 280.
