Support for SHA256
In FortiOS 4.0 MR1, you can use the SHA256 authentication digest, which is more secure
than the SHA1 and MD5 algorithms. The SHA256 option is available in the web-based
manager locations:
• P1 Proposal, Authentication in VPN > IPsec > Auto Key (IKE) > Create Phase 1
• P2 Proposal, Authentication in VPN > IPsec > Auto Key (IKE) > Create Phase 2
• Authentication Algorithm, in VPN > IPsec > Manual Key > Create New
The equivalent settings in the CLI are:
• config vpn ipsec phase1 or config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
edit <gateway_name>
set proposal <encryption_combination>
You can set the authentication portion of <encryption_combination> to SHA256,
for example 3des-sha256.
• config vpn ipsec phase2 or config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
edit <tunnel_name>
set proposal <encryption_combination>
You can set the authentication portion of <encryption_combination> to SHA256,
for example 3des-sha256.
• config vpn ipsec manualkey
edit <tunnel_name>
set authentication <authentication_algorithm>
You can set <authentication_algorithm> to sha256.
• config vpn ipsec manualkey-interface
edit <tunnel_name>
set auth-alg <authentication_algorithm>
You can set <authentication_algorithm> to sha256.
