Hello.
I've setup a IPSec tunnel from Azure to my On-Premise router.
BGP is configured to exchange routes.
Even if it works fine, I want to configure MD5 key on this BGP connexion, but I can't find any settings on this.
Can you explain where I can setup this ?
Kind regards François.

    Hi @François BELLEC,

    Greetings

    Currently, there is no option to configure the MD5 key on the BGP session in the Azure gateway.

    If you would like to request this feature, please post it in the Azure feedback. All the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

    You can do this for the IPsec tunnel, but you will have to do it via custom IPsec policy, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/vpn-gateway/ipsec-ike-policy-howto
