    To make the connection on the firewall you will use what ScreenOS calls dynamic vpn.  This is the kb that outlines the various configuration options.

    These reference the netscreen client but this will not support Win7 and is no longer supported by Juniper.  If you have win7 clients you will need to choose either the officially supported but paid NCP client.  See this thread

    And the kb

    Or the Shrew open source client is another option.

    But any IPSEC client software can be used.
