[Openswan Users] ANNOUNCE: x509 patch with port wildcard interoperates now with Mac OS X Panther

[Andreas Steffen]

Version 0.9.38 of the X.509 patch for freeswan-1.99 and version 1.5.3
for freeswan-2.04 and freeswan-2.05, respectively, offer a %any port
wildcard parameter. This new feature allows the long-desired interoperability
with the L2TP-over-IPsec stack of Mac OS X Panther which uses a floating
L2TP source port in its IPsec SA request.

The notation in ipsec.conf is as follows:

   conn l2tp
        right=%any
        rightprotoport=17/%any
        left=%defaultroute
        leftid=@pluto.strongsec.com
        leftprotoport=17/1701

The newest release of the X.509 patch can be downloaded from

Kind regards
