Solution

"Hash Payload incorrect" message in the log viewer in NetScreen-Remote (NSR) usually indicates a mismatch on the pre-shared secret between NetScreen-Remote and the Firewall.  There are few possible causes for this:

  • Typo on the pre-shared secret.  Re-enter the pre-shared secret on NSR and the firewall.
    OR
  • Firewall pre-shared key only supports up to 32 characters.  Reduce the pre-shared key length to 32 or less.
    OR
  • Pre-shared key on the Firewall side has Pre-shared Key "Use as Seed".  De-select the "Use as Seed" option.

Additional Information:

If you look at the configuration file, and see the "seed-preshare" in the "set ike gateway" line, this is using the "Use as Seed" option.  The resolution is to change this to preshare.
