VPN
Phase 1
The basic phase 1 settings associate IPSec phase 1 parameters with a remote
gateway and determine:
• whether the various phase 1 parameters will be exchanged in multiple rounds with
encrypted authentication information (main mode) or in a single message with
authentication information that is not encrypted (aggressive mode)
• whether a preshared key or digital certificates will be used to authenticate the
identities of the two VPN peers
• whether a special identifier, certificate distinguished name, or group name will be
used to identify the remote peer or client when a connection attempt is made
In phase 1, the two VPN peers exchange keys to establish a secure communication
channel between them. The advanced P1 Proposal parameters select the encryption
and authentication algorithms that are used to generate the keys. Additional advanced
phase 1 settings can be selected to ensure the smooth operation of phase 1
negotiations.

Note:
The procedures in this section assume that you want the FortiGate unit to generate
unique IPSec encryption and authentication keys automatically. In situations where a remote
VPN peer requires a specific IPSec encryption and/or authentication key, you must configure
the FortiGate unit to use manual keys instead. For more information, see
“Manual key” on
page 270
