4.2 Peer: Authentication Attribute
What is ...
Two main methods for user authentication are supported in the SpeedTouch™:
pre-shared key
certificates
The user authentication parameters used for IKE negotiations are bundled in a 
descriptor with a symbolic name. 
This is called the Authentication Attribute. For pre-shared key authentication, this 
attribute holds the pre-shared key. For authentication with certificates it simply 
indicates the authentication method. The Authentication Attribute parameters are 
explained in section 
How is it used
An Authentication Attribute is required as one of the parameters to successfully 
create an operational peer. The peer refers to the Authentication attribute by its 
symbolic name. So, as an initial preparatory step to define an operational peer, a 
valid Authentication Attribute is created.
