Special characters in the shared key when importing firewalls

[sboukef]

Hello

We are using CWVMS to import and configure PIX firewalls.

The shared isakmp key of one of the firewalls has not been accepted during import because it contains special characters.

The problem is that the customer does not have authority to change the key.

Does Management Center for Firewalls really accept only alphanumeric isakmp keys ? Is there another alternative to changing the key ?

Thank you sincerely for your help.

I am not sure what your problem is. But ISAKMP keys can be changed directly on the PIX using the command line interface. I have not used any special character in the ISAKMP keys. Can anyone confirm that special characters can be used within ISAKMP keys?
