Hi Kevin,

Which HowTo are you following?  There's two for Cisco and one for
Linksys, I'm not sure which applies best to the RV082.  

When switching from the domain FQDN to the user FQDN, you have to make
the identity change both on the RV082 gateway and in the Shrew config
Authentication tab.  When you have those in sync, Phase 1 should
complete again.

Essentially what you'll have to do to solve the shared key problem is
create a separate Tunnel (not Group VPN) for every employee, defining
each with a Remote Client of type Email Addr and assigning a unique
email and pre-shared key to each Tunnel.
