Pix - Netscreen IPSec w/certs interoperability

2006-02-20, 5:47 pm

fellow bit-bangers,
Is trying to configure an IPSec tunnel between a Netscreen and a Pix
using certificates for authentication a fool's errand? Myself and a
colleague have been working this off and on for several days. A tunnel
using pre-shared keys comes up just fine but when using certs issued by
his CA, we get obscure errors. When I ping cisco tech support about it,
they reply "not supported". Are they just being obstructive or do
wizards on this list know of technical reasons why this won't work?
tia,
