Many setups use a certificate authority scheme. Rather than importing all the 
certs involved in the IKE negotiation, you create a self-signed CA 
certificate. 

You then issue client certificates, all signed by that CA. The clients send 
the certificate to the server during IKE negotiation, which can then verify 
the signature and authenticate the client.
