Corente Cloud Services Exchange Release 9.4.2 provides the following new features and changes:
- Support for arbitrary Internet Key Exchange (IKE) identifiers
As of this release, App Net Manager lets you define IKE identifiers that Corente Services Gateways use for authentication with third-party devices.
App Net Manager provides a Specified field where you can define the IKE ID. This field is available in the IKE ID section on the Partners tab of the Location window. The Specified field is also available on the Add Location Partner wizard when you create Location partners between a Corente Services Gateway and a third-party device. This field applies to Locations that you create from Release 9.4.2 or later.
Specified lets you define one of the following as the IKE ID:
An IP address
A string, that is prefixed with the at sign (@). App Net Manager does not send the at sign (@) as part of the IKE identity. For example, if you specify
@ExampleString01, App Net Manager sendsExampleString01as the IKE identity.NoteThe IKE ID is case sensitive and can contain a maximum of 255 ASCII alphanumeric characters including special characters, period or dot (.), hyphen or minus sign (-), and underscore (_). The IKE ID cannot contain embedded space characters.
If you specify the IKE ID, the Peer ID type must be Domain Name on all third party devices. App Net Manager does not support other Peer ID types, such as Email Address, Firewall Identifier, or Key Identifier.
