Using the Security Policy Editor

You can copy proposals for Authentication (Phase 1) or Key Exchange (Phase 2) in the selected 
connection only. You cannot copy proposals to another phase or connection.

1.

In the Security Policy Editor, in the Network Security Policy list, expand a secure connection 

.

2.

Expand Security Policy for the secure connection. Authentication (Phase 1) and Key 
Exchange (Phase 2) appear.

3.

Depending on the type of proposal you want to copy, click a proposal for Authentication 
(Phase 1) or Key Exchange (Phase 2) that you want to copy.

4.

Click 

. The new proposal appears below the copied proposal; its number is the copied 

proposal incremented by one. Each proposal's number below the new one is incremented by 
one from before the copy operation. Proposal labels are fixed; you can't change them.

Example: 

 

There are four proposals for a connection. You copied Proposal 2; the new proposal is 
Proposal 3. Proposals 3 and 4 are now Proposals 4 and 5. 

5.

Click Save. 

The client attempts proposals in the order they are listed, in the particular phase for a connection, 
in the Network Security Policy list. To change the selection order, you can move a proposal up or 
down. 

When you change a proposal's position in the list, the client renumbers the proposals to maintain 
sequential numbering. When you have finished moving proposals, make sure that the proposals are 
in the order you want them tried.
