Other alternative is to configure a pre-shared secret based authentication method. Either way you will need to use some kind of authentication method.

Same document, please refer to page 8-9

3. Enter a Group Name.

4. Enter and confirm the Group Password.

5. Click Ok and then commit the configuration.

Configuring a Pre-Shared Secret on the Android Device

5. In the Server address field, enter the address of the GlobalProtect Gateway.

6. Enter the group name configured previously in the IPSec identifier field.

7. Enter the group password in the IPsec pre-shared key field.

8. Save the configuration.

Hello Niuk,

For certificate based auth using droid phone, you must manually export and import the certificates.

Please refer to this document GlobalProtect Configuration for the IPSec Client on Android Devices Page 5

Hope this helps.

What is my option if i don't want certificate based authentication , how do I setup whole thing  so phone doesn't need certificate (credentials only)?
