VPN on PIX 515E - IKE Xauth for Crypto Map

[pizzov]

I am trying to setup a new VPN group on a PIX running 6.2(2) code. I would like to use the "LOCAL" database for usernames for my VPN IDs/Passwords. When I enter the command:

"crypto map outside_map client authentication LOCAL" ...I receive an error:

"Protocol "local" is available only for console authentication and command authorization"

Is this because of the older version of PIX code, or something else I'm doing wrong? Thank you!!!!!

I believe it is because of the PIX OS version. Verision 6.3 introduced the ability to use a LOCAL authentication server for VPN access. See the 6.3(1) release notes below:
