[vpn-help] what does INVALID-ID-INFORMATION in log mean?

[Brian Preston]

I'm setting up your VPN Client for the first time, with settings sent to me
by co-worker.  I get a 'negotiation timout occurred' in the connection log.
I searched here for info on that and enabled the trace log and found the
'received peer INVALID-ID-INFORMATION notification' message, which I figured
was the root cause.  What does that mean?

 

VPN Client Version = 2.1.5

Windows OS Version  = Windows 7

Gateway Make/Model - dunno

 

Here's the debug log from the Trace application:
