VPN User Dialog Box

This is the name of a user who will connect to the device using VPN client 
software.

The user whose name is entered in the first column will be given the privi-
leges and session parameters described in the specified VPN Group Config-
uration.

Any number of user entries may specify the same VPN Group Configuration 
in the database, but the VPN Group Configuration itself may allow a limited 
number of simultaneous users to actually have open VPN sessions with a 
device.

This is a shared alphanumeric secret between 1-255 characters long. It is used 
to generate session keys which are used to authenticate and/or encrypt each 
packet received or sent through the tunnel.

This is a shared alphanumeric long term secret between 1-255 characters 
long. It is used to generate a series of short term keys which will authenticate 
traffic from this user on a packet-by-packet basis.

The same secret must be entered into the VPN client in order for authentica-
tion to succeed.
