RE: [FW1] FWZ vs. IKE



Title: RE: [FW1] FWZ vs. IKE
Ok... resolved... thanks Paul, Robert, Keith, and CryptoTech (on the other thread)
 
Issue was that VPN was defined on the workstation object as well.  I was using the pre-shared secret as the user password as well...  So when I thought I was authenticating the user, I was still only Authenticating the machine.
 
I still find it disturbing that you can't do Client Encrypt based on users from a machine that is defined on the firewall as using VPN.
 
(If the machine is defined to use VPN... it seems to completely ignore the username you input in SR..and just verifies that the password matches the preshared secret ??)
 
Thanks again for all the help

Subject: RE: [FW1] FWZ vs. IKE

Let me jump on the bad form bandwagon here...and reply to myself...

It just dawned on me...   Can I really do a preshared secret with a user ??  My secrets that match are on the workstation the user is using and on the firewall...

In the user properties... I select IKE ..and am given the choice to use either "password" or "certificate" authentication... of course I was putting in my same user password which was the same as the preshared secret for my test workstation.. that is where I was confused and believed that the secret was properly set....

So, let me ask, can i do preshared secrets with users somehow ? or do i have to do certificates... (which, by the way, i have no idea how to make work.... so I'd like to avoid it... I'm under the impression that to do that I'd have to have a certificate server, we have a server running 2000 that doesn't have much a load on it..and we are only talking 5-10 uesrs total... but I have no idea where to start if I need to make that a cert server ... can someone point me in the right direction there... everything i read just says to make a cert server... but I need to know how ....)

Thanks for all the help

Jason
