IKE Authentication
NetModule routers support IKE authentication through pre-shared keys (PSK) or certificates within a
public key infrastructure. Extended Authentication (XAUTH) leverages RADIUS-like authentication and
can be used to apply user level access control over IPSec.
Using PSK requires the following settings:
Parameter IPsec IKE Authentication Settings
PSK The pre-shared key used to authenticate at the peer
Local ID Type The type of identification for the local ID which can be a FQDN,
username@FQDN or IP address
Local ID The local ID value
Remote ID Type The type of identification for the remote ID
Remote ID The remote ID value
When using certificates you would need to specify the operation mode. When run as PKI client (ini-
tiator) you can create a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in the certificates section which needs to
be submitted at your Certificate Authority and imported to the router afterwards. In PKI server mode
(concentrator), the router represents the Certificate Authority and issues the certificates for remote
peers. They are revokable.
Using XAUTH the following settings can be made:
Parameter IPsec XAUTH Settings
User name The name of the XAUTH user
User password The password of the XAUTH user
Group name The group ID
Group password The group secret
