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
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
