Hi all.
As I understand, in IPSecVPN, preshare-key is used to authenticate VPN peers. As configure dynamic VPN, we have this configuration
policy IKE-PHASE-1 {
mode aggressive;
proposals MY-IKE-PROPOSAL;
pre-shared-key ascii-text "$9$lq8v87wYojHm-VHmfT/9evW8L7-Vw2oJN-"; ## SECRET-DATA
}
<with your pre-shared-key>
But, there is one issue that I cannot understand. When I use Junos Pulse to connect to SRX VPN Gateway, there is no place for me to provide this pre-share key for Junos pulse to authenticate with SRX VPN Gateway. So, how SRX can authenticate my Junos Pulse?
Or in other words, what is purpose of pre-share-key in dynamic vpn ?
