Exactly what it does say. It can't match any connection entry with your
RSA public key because you had wrong id string.

| rightca=%same

rightca=%same

or

leftca=%same

specify that certificate on other end need to be signed by same CA.

If remot end has certificate signed by different CA you can give
rightca="C=ZA,.." and have that certificate in your certificate storage
of course. But this way you can limit that remote end need to have
certificate signed by this exact CA.
