• Shared Secret is a type of password consisting of any characters that both of the IPSec Connection partners must know. The authentication will
be done with this shared secret. All encryption functions below will remain concealed.
Please Note: It is also not recommended to start multiple road warrior connections with the Shared Secret automatic keying selected. For
multiple road warriors to be started at the same time, it is recommended to use RSA keying with Local ID and Remote ID fields configured.
• RSA requires the public RSA key of your IPSec Connection partner.
Please Note: System prevents to start a connection with Shared Secret automatic keying selected if there is already a connection with RSA
automatic keying started, and vice versa.
The Local ID requires an IP address, Quadro FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) that is resolved to an IP address, or any @-ed string that is
used in the same way.
Remote ID also requires an IP address, the IPSec Connection partner’s FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) that is resolved to an IP address, or
any @-ed string that is used in the same way.
The Local ID and Remote ID text fields may have the
values in one of the formats presented below:
• IP address – example: 10.1.19.32.
• Host name – example: vpn.epygi.com. This form
requires additional resources to resolve the host
name, therefore it is not recommended to use this
format.
• @FQDN – example: @vpn.epygi.com. This form is
considered as a string, and is not being resolved. It is
recommended to use this form for most applications.
form is also considered as a string, and is not being
resolved. It has no advantages over the previous form.
Please Note: If Shared Secret is defined, the Local ID
and Remote ID may be undefined. Exceptions are cases
when NAT Traversal is enabled and/or the partner device is
a road warrior; in this case at least one of the IDs need to
be defined.

PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) is a procedure of system key exchange, which uses a long-term key and generates short-term keys as is required.
Thus, an attacker who acquires the long-term key can neither read previous messages that they may have captured nor read future ones.
Use IPSec Compression enables IPSec data compression. This option is displayed only if the IPSec-VPN partner supports it.
The Manual Keying page offers the following
components:
Depending on the selected encryption and authentication
services of the prior page (IPSec Connection Properties)
you will get some of the following text fields:
• DES Encryption Key
• 3DES Encryption Key
• SHA1 Authentication Key
• MD5 Authentication Key
Manual keys must be entered in the hexadecimal format,
otherwise the error message “Incorrect Encryption Key”
will appear.
The SPIs (Security Parameter Index) are indices to keep
the IPSec Connection tunnels distinct. A security
association (SA) is defined by destination, protocol and
SPI. Without the SPI, connections to the same gateway
using the same protocol cannot be distinguished.
