[C++]

The PresharedKey property gets or sets the preshared key for IPSec authentication. A preshared key is a string of text that is configured on both the VPN client and the VPN server. A preshared key provides a relatively weak authentication method. We therefore recommend that you use it only in the interim when your public key infrastructure (PKI) is being deployed to obtain computer certificates, or when a preshared key is required by VPN clients.

Parameters

bstrPresharedKey

BSTR that specifies the preshared key for L2TP connections.

These property methods return S_OK if the call is successful; otherwise, they return an error code.
