Field Description
"On" / "Off" A slider switch indicates whether the IPsec C2S connection is active ( "On" ) or
inactive ( "Off" ). By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of the
connection. A new connection is enabled by default.
"Show on Desktop" Optional: This checkbox is pre-selected by default. You can clear the checkbox
if you do not want the IPsec connection to be displayed as a node in the net-
work overview on the desktop.
"Color" Optional: Select the color to be used for this IPsec C2S connection as a node
on the desktop.
"Name" Enter a unique name for the connection. It must consist of three to ten lower-
case alphanumeric characters.
"Use L2TP" Optional: This checkbox is cleared by default. You can select the checkbox if
you want to establish the IPsec connection on Layer 2.
"Connection Authentica-
tion"
Specify the method used to verify the connection between client and server by
selecting the respective radio button. You can use a pre-shared key or certifi-
cates.
"Preshared Key" Specify the password to use for the authentication of the IPsec connection. Cli-
ents will need to supply this password to establish a VPN connection to gate-
protect Firewall.
Optional: Select the "Show Preshared Key" checkbox to verify the password.
"Certificate" Select the VPN certificate and the signing CA to be used to establish the IPsec
connection. Enter the PK password if one was assigned during the creation of
the VPN certificate. The certificates have to be created or imported in advance,
see Chapter 3.4.8.1, "Certificates", on page 122.
"User Authentication" The default authentication method is set to Internal. Each user that connects
to gateprotect Firewall via the IPsec VPN connection must be defined as descri-
bed under "Local Users" on page 49.
If the "Use L2TP" checkbox is selected, you can select either Internal or
LDAP as the user authentication method from the drop-down list.
"Profile" IPsec connections include various parameters that gateprotect Firewall groups
into several pre-defined profiles for convenience. You can select a predefined
profile or configure and select a custom profile with settings that are more suita-
ble for your environment from the drop-down list. Once you have selected a
profile, the "Profile Details" link appears. Click it to view the selected profile's
parameter settings in a pop-up window. To close the pop-up window, click in
the upper right corner of the window.
If the "Use L2TP" checkbox is selected, the l2tp (IKEv1) profile is selected
by default.
For more information, see "IPsec Profiles" on page 108.
On the "Local Configuration" tab, you can specify the settings for the gateprotect Fire-
wall side of the VPN connection:
