Hi Fabio,

This means that the clients ID is being accepted by the gateway but the 
gateways ID is being rejected by the client. My advice would be to set 
the Remote ID type to User Fully Qualified Domain Name ( because thats 
whats being sent ) and try to connect again. At that point, if you see 
an error message about the ID being rejected, the log will also contain 
the value sent by gateway now that the types match.

Good luck,
