<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> VPN overview<br />

Implementing Extended Authentication on the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> is a<br />

simple two step process.<br />

1. Specify the authentication method(s) that are available on your<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> See “Supported authentication methods” on page 9-5<br />

for information on supported methods.<br />

Do this by selecting VPN Configuration -> ISAKMP Server, then enabling<br />

the desired methods in the Available Authentication Methods field. See<br />

“Configuring the ISAKMP server” on page 13-11 for details.<br />

2. Enable Extended Authentication for the desired VPN security<br />

association(s).<br />

This is accomplished by selecting VPN Configuration -> Security<br />

Associations and then clicking the Require Extended Authentication<br />

check box. See “Entering information on the Authentication tab” on<br />

page 13-56 for more details.<br />

Note: Extended Authentication must also be enabled on the remote client. See your client<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware documentation for information on configuring and enabling Extended<br />

Authentication.<br />

What type <strong>of</strong> VPN authentication should I use?<br />

The <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> supports four different VPN authentication<br />

methods. The characteristics <strong>of</strong> a VPN peer determine which type <strong>of</strong><br />

authentication best fits your VPN configuration. Extend authentication<br />

may be added to any automated authentication method for increased<br />

security.<br />

Note: Extended authentication not available for <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>-to-<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong><br />

configurations or any configuration that uses a manual key exchange.<br />
