Set Up Compatible Policies
Two Packet Protect-enabled computers must agree on certain settings in order to
communicate in a protected way. These settings must be agreed upon by both
computers. It becomes increasingly difficult to set up an IPSec security system if
there is a different network administrator who manages computers with which
you need to communicate using Packet Protect.
Contact the other network administrator who is also using Packet Protect to
coordinate the management of Packet Protect computers. One of you may need
to update your client’s System Policy to be compatible with the other computer’s
System Policy.
Two computers must use compatible settings for the following:
• Authentication. Both computers must use the same method to authenticate
each other’s identity (e.g., both computers must use the same pre-shared
key)
• IPSec. Both computers must use compatible IPSec settings. See “Custom-
ize Security Actions” on page 33 and “How Packet Protect Uses IPSec” on
page 59 for a list of the required settings.
