SRX Dynamic VPN - No proposal chosen

Issue

When connecting trying to connect via Dynamic VPN your client displays the following error:


IKE Negotiations FailedWithin the output of the IKE debug logs you see the following error:

Solution




This can occur when users do not correctly logout of the VPN client. The corresponding IKE cookie is not then correctly removed. As the IKE cookie contains the IP address and user name of the client, the user can then not connect via their same IP address.

To ensure the IKE cookie is removed a idle-timeout setting (of 5 minutes) is defined.
