Complete this step only if you selected Preshared Key as your ISAKMP authentication algorithm in “Step 3: Configuring the ISAKMP Policy”. If not, go to Chapter 4 “Using Certificates with HP-UX IPSec ”.

  1. Click the Preshared Key tab at the top of the ipsec_mgr screen to display the current preshared keys.

  2. Click Create on the Preshared Keys screen. The Create ISAKMP Preshared Key screen appears.

  3. Enter the Remote IP Address for your preshared key. This is the IP address of the remote system that will share this preshared key and use it for authentication with the local system.

  4. Enter a key in the field. If you have a key stored in a text file, click the From File checkbox and click the Browse button to locate and load the key file. Alternately, you can hand-enter a key in the blank field.

    A preshared key must match the corresponding key configured on the remote system to compete authentication between the two systems.

  5. Click OK to save the preshared key.

    If you are using RSA signatures for IKE authentication, go to Chapter 4 “Using Certificates with HP-UX IPSec ”. Otherwise, go on to “Step 7: Configuring Boot-up Options”.
