Explanation:
: This is the correct answer, you can configure “Pre-Shared Secret” under the “Support
authentication methods” in the IKE properties. To get to IKE properties you need to go to the VPN
tab of the properties of the firewall object. Once in there you can edit IKE. Just to remember, PreShared Secret is used when both ends of the VPN lacks access to a compatible certificate server.
Once you have defined all the endpoints in your VPN, you can establish a password that is used
to authenticate the other end of the connection. (Both ends of the connection must be configured
with the same password). See page 323 of “Essential Checkpoint Firewall 1” Book.
