   It is not the IKE ID should match the subject name. The subject name
should be present in the IKE ID for trusting the cert. Also this is required
by the VPN
   client and the ASA only. IOS routers doesn't check for the match.

*   Method 1*

  With ASAs, configure tunnel group with IP address and configure remote
IPSec peer with "crypto isakmp identity dn", the validation on ASA will
suceed as
  the IP address matches the IP address of the IKE messages.

*  Method 2*

  With ASA, if you configure tunnel group with name, then you need to
configure "crypto isakmp identity dn" and appropriate subject name in the
trustpoint
  using "subject-name". With this IKE ID will match the subject name.

*  Method 3*

  With ASA, if you have configure tunnel group with name, then you can
configure "peer-id-validate nocheck" with removes the validation.


   With VPN client, make sure you configure "crypto isakmp identity dn" on
the EzVPN server.

    As the ASA uses tunnel groups, it uses that logic for matching the
tunnel group. This is not used in IOS as there is no tunnel group.
