I've been having trouble finding resources about the AuthType property which appears in many Cisco VPN configurations. In every example I can find, it's set to AuthType=1, but I don't know what other possible values there are, nor what the 1 actually refers to. Can someone explain this, or point me towards resources pertaining to this?

I know that with the older cisco VPN concentrators:

  • AuthType=1 - shared key
  • AuthType=3 - RSA cert
  • AuthType=5 - Mutual RSA

See, for example, page 2-20.

Not to be confused with the IOS auth-type for policy management.

The AuthType will define the way the user is athenticated against the server/device.

  • 1 = Pre-shared keys (default)
  • 3 = Digital Certificate using an RSA signature
  • 5 = Mutual authentication
