Shrew for Vista 64 and juniper Netscreen SSg5 IPSec configuration help

Asked by: andysussman44

Hi,
We have a Juniper SSG5 version  6.0.0r4.0 .  We have an existing VPN that we use with the Netscreen Remote 9.04 Client successfully.  We have an employee with Vista Home Premium 64 at home now and are looking into Shrew VPN Client to support 64 bit clients. I have setup a policy on her system using the Shrew and it seems to be successfully negotiating Phase 1 but I am having trouble getting the Phase 2 to successfully connect (I think) with SSG5

I am getting this logged on the SSG5 when I try to connect from the Shrew client on her machine.

IKE xx.xx.33.215: Received initial contact notification and removed Phase 1 SAs.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Received initial contact notification and removed Phase 2 SAs.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Received a notification message for DOI 1 24578 INITIAL-CONTACT.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Phase 1: Completed Aggressive mode negotiations with a 28800-second lifetime.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Phase 1: Completed for user TEST.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Phase 1: IKE responder has detected NAT in front of the remote device.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Phase 1: IKE responder has detected NAT in front of the local device.
IKE xx.xx.33.215: Phase 1: Responder starts AGGRESSIVE mode negotiations

My configuration on the SSG5 is as follows: (just VPN parts)
set user "test" uid 1
set user "test" ike-id u-fqdn "test.mydomain.com" share-limit 1
set user "test" type  ike
set user "test" "enable"

set vpn "MY VPN" gateway "MY VPN Gateway" no-replay tunnel idletime 0 proposal "g2-esp-des-md5"
set vpn "My  VPN" bind zone Untrust-Tun
set vrouter "untrust-vr"
exit
set vrouter "trust-vr"
exit
set url protocol websense
exit
set policy id 3 name "vpn" from "Untrust" to "Trust"  "Dial-Up VPN" "10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0" "ANY" tunnel vpn "My  VPN" id 2 log
set policy id 3
set log session-init
exit
set ssh version v2
set config lock timeout 5

My Shrew configuration is:

n:version:2
n:network-ike-port:500
n:network-mtu-size:1380
n:client-addr-auto:1
n:network-natt-port:4500

s:ipcomp-transform:disabled
n:phase2-pfsgroup:2
s:policy-list-include:10.0.0.0 / 255.255.255.0

Can anyone help me with correctly setting up the Shrew Client without having to change my existing Netscreen configuration and policies (if possible) If not then I can update all the users as well.

Thanks!
Andy

AFAIK you have to use s:auth-method:mutual-psk-xauth, which means a XAuth phase is used between P1 and P2. This is the setup has shown in the Shrew Tutorial.
Without XAuth you only have group authentication, no client authentication, and IP addresses can not be assigned.

The log file you provided ends at P1 Aggressive Mode, we cannot see what happens after that - which is the interesting part.

Further: Aren't you concerned about using DES and MD5, which is the weakest combination available? AES is much better (performance and security), and you should use SHA-1 instead of MD5.
