[Openswan Users] OpenSwan to Strongswan RSA Problem

Any ideas Andreas?

I read somewhere about a possible fragmentation issue with large certificates so I tried 1024 bit certificates and got nowhere, these don't seem to be accepted by Strongswan, so I reverted to the 2048 bit certs. The certificates seem to load OK both sides, ipsec auto --listall shows them, along with the correct 'has private key' notice. I am doubtful about fragmentation issues as these two machines are VMs on the same host machine on the same subnet, and tcpdump icmp shows no fragmentation notices.

As Andy noted, the ipsec auto --status seems to show long HEX values, instead of the DNs, is that expected?

Openswan doesn't seem to recognise the cert, is it trying to match 'C=CH, O=strongSwan, CN=aspfw2' against '0x3066310B300906035504061302434831133011060355040A130A7374726F6E675377616E310F300D06035504031306617370667732000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' ?

Any clues might be helpful

Thanks

Hi Matt,

could you post the /etc/ipsec.d/certs/aspfw2.pem certificate?

Regards
