I manage the VPN at work and was trying to connect via ipad then I got the message "The IPSec Shared Secret is missing. Please verify your settings and try again." If your environment is a Microsoft VPN (Routing and Remote Access) The solution is: 1. Delete existing VPN that didn't work. 2. Create new VPN and do NOT add anything on the L2TP tab. 3. Click on the PPTP Tab and enter the information here - your need description, server, account - I leave passwrod to Ask Every time. 4. All other settings - leave the defaults. This worked for me.

I just resolved this issue.

I manage the VPN at work and was trying to connect via ipad then I got the message
“The IPSec Shared Secret is missing. Please verify your settings and try again.”

If your environment is a Microsoft VPN (Routing and Remote Access)

The solution is:
1. Delete existing VPN that didn’t work.
2. Create new VPN and do NOT add anything on the L2TP tab.
3. Click on the PPTP Tab and enter the information here – your need description, server, account – I leave passwrod to Ask Every time.
4. All other settings – leave the defaults.

This worked for me.

But I am having a problem and hours of searching didn't solve it yet. My company is using Contivity IPsec VPN but they do not support macs. The IT gave me the connection info for windows and I tried to set it up in Mac as it is shown above. But whenever I click apply after filling in the Authentication Settings, the whole form resets itself (password and shared secret disappear). I couldn't get them stay in there. Therefore I am getting this "The IPsec shared secret is missing" error. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot Hi,
