## Generate Pre Shared Key (PSK) for IPsec tunnels

`client.magicTransit.ipsecTunnels.pskGenerate(stringipsecTunnelId, IPSECTunnelPSKGenerateParamsparams, RequestOptionsoptions?): IPSECTunnelPSKGenerateResponse`

**post** `/accounts/{account_id}/magic/ipsec_tunnels/{ipsec_tunnel_id}/psk_generate`

Generates a Pre Shared Key for a specific IPsec tunnel used in the IKE session. Use `?validate_only=true` as an optional query parameter to only run validation without persisting changes. After a PSK is generated, the PSK is immediately persisted to Cloudflare's edge and cannot be retrieved later. Note the PSK in a safe place.

### Parameters

- `ipsecTunnelId: string`

  Identifier

- `params: IPSECTunnelPSKGenerateParams`

  - `account_id: string`

    Path param: Identifier

  - `body: unknown`

    Body param

### Returns

- `IPSECTunnelPSKGenerateResponse`

  - `ipsec_tunnel_id?: string`

    Identifier

  - `psk?: string`

    A randomly generated or provided string for use in the IPsec tunnel.

  - `psk_metadata?: PSKMetadata`

    The PSK metadata that includes when the PSK was generated.

    - `last_generated_on?: string`

      The date and time the tunnel was last modified.

### Example

```node
import Cloudflare from 'cloudflare';

const client = new Cloudflare({
  apiToken: process.env['CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

const response = await client.magicTransit.ipsecTunnels.pskGenerate(
  '023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353',
  {
    account_id: '023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353',
    body: {},
  },
);

console.log(response.ipsec_tunnel_id);
```
