I hear this all the time and still it is wrong. 

The "magic" to scale a shared secrets-based authentication system is to move 
from a two party to a three party system. 

An example of a successfully deployed shared secret based authentication 
infrastructure can be found with the cellular communication infrastructure. 

In context of this document this means that you have to use IKEv2 with EAP and 
combine it with the AAA infrastructure. 

Isn't it easy?
