Shrew Soft VPN client connection to ASA

So my boss wants to avoid paying for AnyConnect licenses at all costs (to replace the old Cisco IPsec client). Currently my patience is paying dearly trying to get the Shrew IPsec VPN client to work.

Under the Authentication tab I have selected "Mutual PSK + XAuth", Identification Type "Key Identifier" and the tunnel-group name as the Key IS String. PSK is under the Credentials tab.

When I try to connect it fails and the ASA log shows that it is trying to connect to the wrong group and consequently has the wrong PSK.

I also tried to enter the tunnel-group name as "Fully Qualified Domain Name" as that was listed in the Shrew documentation but that does not work either.

Anyone got this to work?
