VPN tunnel between VPN edge X and FW-1 in traditional mode

[Hitman]

Hi,
I am not able to create a VPN tunnel between an VPN-1 EDGE X32 and a FW-1 SPLAT modules using Pre-Shared Secret Key in traditionnla mode.

Fact:

Both EDGE box and FW-1 module are manage by the same SmartCenter
Both rule set are in TRADITIONNAL MODE.
In the EDGE object in the SmartCenter there is no option for "Traditionnal mode Configuration", so i configure the VPN SETUP with the HTTPS:981 access
But in the Pre-Shared Secret section in the FW-1 Module, the EDGE object in not there, so i cannot configure the same Secret Key that i put in the EDGE with the HTTPS:981 access.

It seems that in "traditionnal mode" when the EDGE and a FW-1 module is manage by the same Manager there is no way to build a VPN connection between those two.

I can use an object "Externally managed Gateway" for the edge box and able to build a VPN in traditionnal mode between the edge and the FW-1 module, but my EDGE will not be manage by the manager, will not forward his log the the manager and will not be seen and monitor by smart view monitor..........

Thanks in advance for your support

Correct. For an Edge to be managed by a SmartCenter, it must use a simplified policy and certificate authentication. During the setup, the Edge will pull the certificate from the SmartCenter automatically. There's no way around this while keeping it managed.
