      Hello, All,

      I'm a recent pfsense convert (from linux firewalls) and am having a small bit of difficulty in setting up an IPSec site-to-site VPN based on certificates.
        Although I can paste the needed certificates into the IPSec configuration page, it keeps failing with a message along the lines of "the pre-shared key appears to be invalid".  As I'm not trying to use a pre-shared key, this field obviously is blank.  Entering something there and clearing out the certificates results in a functional VPN.
        Will this be a supported feature in an upcoming release, or did I miss something really, really simple?  I searched the forum but did not find any references to this specific topic.

      Thanks in advance.  This truly is a great firewall distro–I'm really impressed!
