Hi Brian,

I'm just guessing here, I don't actually know what that error means.

I would look at the Shrew site configuration Authentication tab.
Perhaps you've got the Local Identity or Remote Identity types or
values set incorrectly. For instance, perhaps you need to use a "User
Fully Qualified Domain Name" instead of "Fully Qualified Domain Name".

BTW, if you increase the Log output level to debug in the trace
program, it will show you more detail about what Shrew is sending to
the gateway.
