[Openswan Users] OpenSwan to Strongswan RSA Problem

[Matt Killock]

Hi,

Yes some of that works, but some doesn't. The %fromcert directive looks better in the config

These configs work:

        leftcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/covazfw.pem
        rightcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/aspfw2.pem
        leftid=%fromcert
        rightid="bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb"

        leftcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/covazfw.pem
        rightcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/aspfw2.pem
        leftid=%fromcert
        rightid=%fromcert

        leftcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/covazfw.pem
        leftid=%fromcert
        rightid=%fromcert

(Last one seems to be saying to allow any cert from peer)

And this config doesn't work:

        leftcert=/etc/ipsec.d/certs/covazfw.pem
        leftid=%fromcert
        rightid="C=CH, O=strongSwan2, CN=aspfw2"

So it seems that for me, the rightcert needs to be there but it might not be having any effect at all!

Just comparing with a similar setup that's working for me:
In my case I have
  leftcert=xxx.pem
  leftid=%fromcert
  rightid="DN from peer cert"

and I have no rightcert entry - shouldn't be needed as the peer sends its cert.

None of that seems to explain what you're seeing! But may be something else to try.
