Hello,<br><br>I am not able to establish a connection with following configuration:<br><br>Client: ShrewSoft 2.0.3<br>Server: Openswan-2.4.8<br>Auth Method: PSK+XAUTH<br><br>Analyzing the log I found:<br><br>Openswan do not send value of XAUTH_TYPE attribute as per: <a href="http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-xauth/draft-beaulieu-ike-xauth-02.txt">http://www.vpnc.org/ietf-xauth/draft-beaulieu-ike-xauth-02.txt</a>. Which says - <br>
<pre>XAUTH-TYPE - The type of extended authentication requested whose<br> values are described in the next section. This is an optional<br> attribute for the ISAKMP_CFG_REQUEST and ISAKMP_CFG_REPLY messages.<br> If the XAUTH-TYPE is not present, then it is assumed to be Generic.</pre>
<br>However, Shrewsoft vpn client expects the value of XAUTH_TYPE attribute (see below log).<br>Perhaps it is following: <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-xauth-03">http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-xauth-03</a>. Which says -<br>
<pre>XAUTH_TYPE - The type of extended authentication requested whose<br> values are described in the next section. This is a mandatory<br> attribute for the ISAKMP_CFG_REQUEST and ISAKMP_CFG_REPLY<br> messages.<br>
</pre>Shrewsoft Vpn Client Log:<br><br>!! : missing required xauth type attribute<br><br>Is there any workaround/patch available?<br><br>Thanks for your time.<br><br>-hiren<br>
