Problems with new VPN setup with rsa-sig

Greetings,

I am setting up my first vpn with digital certificates on a Ive got a Cisco ISR 2851 IOS 12.4(3d). I got the shared-key to work. I have successfully imported with cut and paste from SDM the CA's key and the Router's key and the import went without error. When I test the connection I get this error. I thought when digital certificates were used, a preshared key was not needed?

Also, I found a links with an SDM example configuration with "cut n paste" in another post, but its a dead one. anyone know where I can get to it now?

Troubleshooting Results Failure Reason(s) Recommended Action(s)

There are IKE policies configured with RSA signature authentication method but there is no digital certificate configured on this router. If the other end VPN device is configured with a digital certificate then this router must be configured with a valid digital certificate. To configure a digital certificate go to 'Configure->VPN->VPN Components->Public Key Infrastructure->Certificate Wizards'.

Group policy group1 does not have a configured key. Group policies must be configured with a Pre-Shared key because this router does not have a configured digital certificate. Go to Configure->VPN->Easy VPN Server->VPN Components->Group Policies. Select the group policy group1 and add a key.

Update...

in relation to:

"Group policy group1 does not have a configured key. Group policies must be configured with a Pre-Shared key because this router does not have a configured digital certificate. Go to Configure->VPN->Easy VPN Server->VPN Components->Group Policies. Select the group policy group1 and add a key.

"

Perhaps I have some confusion about the preshared-key in the group policy. As I read the docs, the pre-shared key is not required for digital certificates. My group1 policy is not checked for preshared. Do I still need to set a preshared key even with rsa-sig?

in relation to:

"Digital certificate(s) : Not configured "

There are digital certs on the router...is there some place to point IKE to one of these?

I got it, I thought the router key was imported, started over and got it to go!
