Cisco ASA 5520 v7.1 group password setup

This should be a simple question. I'm new to Cisco, but not VPN.
I went throught the VPN wizard to setup a simple site to Cisco (Windows) client VPN (version 4.8 )

After setting up the ASA and client side settings, when trying to connect, it asks for a "Group Password". Now I have setup the groups on the ASA via the wizard, but can find no place in the VPN configuration to create a group password. I have the groups setup, but can see no place to create a group password.

Where do I set that?

I scoured the Cisco documentation, and it never mentions setting up a "group password" on the appliance side. But does mention entering in a "group password" on the client side setup. I am obviously missing something simple here.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

...And the answer is.

Group Password = Pre-shared Key.

I guess Cisco thought that users would be confused by the term "pre-shared key" so they used "Group Password" to mean the same thing.

I knew it had to be simple!
 
Sorry I just saw this---I went through the same thing with my Cisco VPN client---I know how to configure the VPN on my Cisco 837 at home, but I did not know that is what they meant by group...lol
