Right, I have some good news for anyone interested in this one:

After digging up some information, this is whats going on:

As of ASA Release 8.0.2 for IPSec (8.0.3.4 for SSL) connections if the
KeyUsage extension is present it must have the Digital Signature bit set.

Option 1: If the ExtendedKeyUsage extension is present it must contain
one of the
following for IPsec:
* id-kp-clientAuth 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2
* id-kp-ipsecEndSystem 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.5
* id-kp-ipsecTunnel 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.6
* id-kp-ipsecUser 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.7

Option 2: You can disable the check in the trustpoint configuration with the
following (the default is "no ignore-ipsec-keyusage" and "no
ignore-ssl-keyusage") :
  crypto ca trustpoint <trustpointname>
    ignore-ipsec-keyusage
    ignore-ssl-keyusage

Since the new Lab exam has ver 8.x on it, this is one that folks would like
to keep an eye out for I guess.

HTH a little,
Sadiq
