[Openswan Users] WRV200 <-> openswan key replacement problems

[Christian Herzberg]

Hi to all,

i guess I found the problem with rekeying but I do not know why it is.

I set up a VPN from several Linksys WRV200 to one SLES10 openswan server.
I use presharedkeys for each peer an i have fix ip addresses on both ends.

This is my openswan config.

conn Hannover
        authby=secret
        auto=add
        #esp=aes-128-md5!
        left=80.81.yyy.yy
        leftid=80.81.yyy.yy
        leftsubnet=10.0.10.0/24
        right=87.139.yyy.yy
        rightsubnet=192.168.124.0/24
        type=tunnel
        pfs=yes
        compress=no
        ikelifetime=480m
        keylife=60m
        keyexchange=ike
        dpddelay=30
        dpdtimeout=120
        dpdaction=hold

conn Celle
        authby=secret
        auto=add
        #esp=aes-128-md5!
        left=80.81.xxx.xx
        leftid=80.81.xxx.xx
        leftsubnet=10.0.10.0/24
        right=217.7.xxx.xxx
        rightsubnet=192.168.121.0/24
        type=tunnel
        pfs=yes
        compress=no
        ikelifetime=480m
        keylife=60m
        keyexchange=ike
        dpddelay=30
        dpdtimeout=120
        dpdaction=hold

Hier is the config of the WRV200:

Key Exchange           =  Auto
Operation Mode         =  main
ISAKMP Encryption      =  3DES
ISAKMP Authentica.     =  MD5
ISAKMP DH Group        =  Group 2: 1024-bits
ISAKMP Key Lifetime(s) =  288000
PFS                    =  enable
IPSec Encryption Method=  3DES
IPSec Authentication M.=  MD5
IPSec DH Group         =  Group 2: 1024-bits
IPSec Key Lifetime(s)  =  3600
Pre-Shared Key         =  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The vpn is comming up and is running without any error. After the keylifetime I get this log entries.

and on the WRV200 site:

My guess is that the problem is comming from my SLES10 openswan site because of the fact that the wrv is saying "IPsec Transform [ESP_AES (128), AUTH_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA1] refused due to strict flag". But why did the openswan AES-128 instat of 3DES?

Thanks for any idea.

Cheers
