Juniper SRX 11.4: Bypass IPSEC VPN IKE ID validation for "remote-identity"
The Juniper SRX firwewall is performs an IKE Phase 1 identity validation based on the "remote-identity" set for the specific ike gateway.
If upgrading from 10.4 where by default a default identity is used or if the remote host isn't sending one and the SRX, under Junos 11.4, fails to bring up IKE phase 1 due to id validation failure, it can be changed to accept generic ike ID, bypassing IKE ID validation in the received payload:
Code:
# set security ike gateway <IKE-gateway-name> general-ikeid
