[Openswan Users] Does Xauth client work? - Fatal error

[Rajitha Reddy]

I added the following to ipsec.conf on the client:

leftxauthname=server1

and the ipsec.secrets looks like this now:

192.168.3.38 10.8.10.244 : PSK "mocana"
server1 : XAUTH "xauth"

And then, I did the following:

==========================================================================================
[root at aragon openswan-2.6.14_xauth]# /usr/local/sbin/ipsec auto --up bison2
104 "bison2" #1: STATE_MAIN_I1: initiate

004 "bison2" #1: STATE_MAIN_I4: ISAKMP SA established {auth=OAKLEY_PRESHARED_KEY cipher=oakley_3des_cbc_192 prf=oakley_sha group=modp1536}
040 "bison2" #1: bison2 prompt for Password:

004 "bison2" #1: STATE_XAUTH_I1: XAUTH client - awaiting CFG_set
037 "bison2" #1: encountered fatal error in state STATE_XAUTH_I1
==========================================================================================

I entered "xauth" when it asked for secret and then it gave a fatal error. I also tried using whack just to see how it goes:

====================================================================================
[root at aragon openswan-2.6.14_xauth]# /usr/local/sbin/ipsec whack --xauthname 'server1' --xauthpass 'xauth' --name bison2 --initiate

==========================================================================================

For all the above, I have just started ipsec on the server and not the connection. If I brought up the connection on the server, then the client would not ask me for passwd at all. Thanks in advance.

Rajitha.

You can use leftxauthname= and put the password in ipsec.secrets on a line
like:

username : XAUTH "password"

(from the top of my head, check a recent openswan man page for ipsec.secrets
or check testing/pluto/*xauth*
