Introduction

This guide provides information that can be used to configure a Juniper SSG or Netscreen device running firmware version 5.4+ to support IPsec VPN client connectivity. The Shrew Soft VPN Client has been tested with Juniper products to ensure interoperability.

Overview

The configuration example described below will allow an IPsec VPN client to communicate with a single remote private network. The client uses the push configuration method to acquire the following parameters automatically from the gateway.

  • IP Address
  • IP Netmask
  • DNS Servers
  • WINS Servers

Gateway Configuration

This example assumes you have knowledge of the Juniper gateway Web configuration interface. For more information, please consult your Juniper product documentation.

Create a Phase1 ID

Create a user that is used to define the phase1 id parameters. Navigate to the following screen using the tree pane on the left hand side of the browser interface.

Create a Client Address Pool

Create a pool of addresses to be assigned to VPN clients. Navigate to the following screen using the tree pane on the left hand side of the browser interface.

Juniper-SSG-nav-6.jpg

Clicking the New button and define an IP Pool. For example, you could define a pool named vpnclient with a start IP address of 10.2.21.1 and and end address of 10.2.21.254.

Set Client Configuration Parameters

The client configuration parameters are stored in the global Auto Key Advanced XAuth parameters. Navigate to the following screen using the tree pane on the left hand side of the browser interface.

Juniper-SSG-nav-7.jpg

Define the following parameters.

  • Reserve Private IP for XAuth User - 480 minutes
  • Default Authentication Server = Local
  • Query Client Settings on Default Server - Unchecked
  • CHAP - Unchecked
  • IP Pool Name = vpnclient
  • DNS Primary Server IP = [ private DNS server address ]
  • DNS Secondary Server IP = [ private DNS secondary address ]
  • WINS Primary Server IP = [ private WINS server address ]
  • WINS Secondary Server IP = [ private WINS secondary address ]

Configure IPsec Policies

The last step for the tunnel configuration is to define policies that allow protected traffic to pass into your private network from the client. Navigate to the following screen using the tree pane on the left hand side of the browser interface.

Juniper-SSG-nav-8.jpg

To create a new IPsec Policy, the from and to zones must be specified. An IPsec VPN Client policy is defined. Select the following zones and click the New button.

  • From = Untrust
  • To = Trust

Juniper-SSG-pic-8a.jpg

Define the following parameters.

  • Name = vpnclient_inbound
  • Source Address
    • Address Book Entry = Dial-UP VPN
  • Destination Address
    • New Address = 10.1.2.0/24
  • Service = ANY
  • Application = None ( means ANY )
  • Action = Tunnel
  • Tunnel = vpnclient_tunnel [ Auto Key IKE vpn name ]

Client Configuration

The client configuration in this example is straight forward. Open the Access Manager application and create a new site configuration. Configure the settings listed below in the following tabs.

General Tab

The Remote Host section must be configured. This Host Name or IP Address is defined to match the Junipers public interface address. The Auto Configuration mode should be set to ike config push.

Phase 1 Tab

The Proposal section must be configured. The Exchange Type is set to aggressive and the DH Exchange is set to group 2 to match the Auto Key IKE Advanced definition.

Authentication Tab

The client authentication settings must be configured. The Authentication Method is defined as Mutual PSK + XAuth.

Local Identity Tab

The Local Identity parameters are defined as Fully Qualified Domain Name with a FQDN String of "client.domain.com" to match the Phase1 User ID value.

Remote Identity Tab

The Remote Identity parameters are defined as Fully Qualified Domain Name with a FQDN String of "vpngw.domain.com" to match the Auto Key Advanced Gateway ID value.

Credentials Tab

The Credentials Pre Shared Key is defined as "mypresharedkey" to match the Auto Key Advanced Gateway Preshared Key value.

Policy Tab

The IPsec Policy information must be manually configured when communicating with Juniper gateways. Create an include Topology entry for each IPsec Policy network created on the gateway. For our example, a single Topology Entry is defined to include the 10.1.2.0/24 network.
