30 Chapter 3 Manually Configuring Devices
Cisco IPSec Settings
When you manually configure the device for Cisco IPSec VPN, a screen similar to
following appears:
Use this chart to identify the settings and information you enter:
Field Description
Description A descriptive title that identifies this group of settings.
Server The DNS name or IP address of the VPN server to connect to.
Account The user name of the user’s VPN login account. Don’t enter the
group name in this field.
Password The passphrase of the user’s VPN login account. Leave blank for
RSA SecurID and CryptoCard authentication, or if you want the user
to enter their password manually with every connection attempt.
Use Certificate This will be available only if you’ve installed a .p12 or .pfx identity
that contains a certificate provisioned for remote access and the
private key for the certificate. When Use Certificate is on, the Group
Name and Shared Secret fields are replaced with an Identify field
that lets you pick from a list of installed VPN-compatible identities.
Group Name The name of the group that the user belongs to as defined on the
VPN server.
Secret The group’s shared secret. This is the same for every member of the
user’s assigned group. It’s not the user’s password and must be
specified to initiate a connection.
