[Openswan Users] Openswan and V-IPSecure

Hey Paul,

Let me just understand so I can make absolutely sure I am following the 
precise process for certificates:

1. Create private key
2. Create Certificate Authority for self signing.
3. Take the CSR from V-IPSecure and make a Self Signed Cert out of it.
4. Load Self Signed cert to both V-IPSecure and Openswan (call this 
ait2tordem.pem)
5. Load the private key in /etc/ipsec.d/private (V-IPSecure doesn't require 
a private key upload per se, it just asks for the Trusted and Self Signed 
Certificate to be uploaded).
6. Update ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets as appropriate.

I just want to make sure I am not doing something boneheaded on my end. I 
would think by now I would have this up and running ..... I have read tons 
of READMEs and a lot of the postings on the list.

Best Regards,
JT
