I was wondering if there is a configuration in openswan so I can limit which certificates are allowed to connect.  I was thinking the distinguished name could be used but I don't know if openswan is capable of this kind of filtering.  If so, does anyone have any examples?  Does anyone have any other ideas to meet my objective?

One can take this even further by capturing the DN in the updown script
and dynamically altering the iptables rules.  That's how we do it in
ISCS.
Is it still a limitation in port selectors that the port restriction
only applies to the protocol used to establish the tunnel but any
traffic can use the tunnel once the tunnel is established? That may have
been changed long ago but I've been away from *swan for a while - John
