[Openswan Users] Error:"We cannot identify ourselves with either end of this connection"

[George Hadjichristofi]

Dear All,

I am trying to run Openswan userland with NETKEY over IPv6.

I currently feed the IPv6 configuration directly into pluto without any
scripts.


My network is  
IPsec GW fe80::a00:1 ------- IPsec GW fe80:a00:2
 
I type the following commands on each gateway:
 
ipsec whack --name ipv6con --ipv6  --host fe80::a00:1 --to --host
fe80::a00:2 --psk --encrypt --pfs --ikelifetime 3600 --ipseclifetime 500
--rekeymargin 100
ipsec whack --listen

When I type the command below:
ipsec whack --initiate --name ipv6con
I get:
"We cannot identify ourselves with either end of this connection"


Does anybody know the possible reason for this error?


Thank you,
George
