<div><br></div><div>I started my work by hard-coding the stroke message to a certain extent later on I will be cleaning up the code.</div><div><br></div><div>I have attached the Log files and the modified code. Please help me or direct me the hack to initiate the connection. I will go ahead. </div>

<div><div><br></div><div>Let me brief you on what I was doing the couple of months. I have done some bench marking on the open source IKEv2 solutions Racoon, OpenIKEv2 and IKEv2 along with yours and concluded Strongswan aptly meeting my requirements. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So I have to integrate it with my IPsec Fast Path which is in progress.</div><div><br></div><div>Coming to the CLI part I had few discrepancies :</div><div><br><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
I had 3 designs were in my mind since the day I took this task.</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">1. One is to write a wrapper script that would simple update the conf file in runtime.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">2. CLI parsing and invoking the Stroke API. Its currenlty in the state of development which is not fully functional. So if I write it for my needs and once you release your stroke CLI utility my code would be useless.</div>
<div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">3. Developing an RPC model using the same Stroke API which I have gone through the Styx plugin. But I was not getting enough support from the developer.</div>
</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
So currently you don't have a full fledged support of the Stroke CLI, I would start my design on the lines of Design 2 .</div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">
<br></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:13px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Coming to the funding part as I see Strongswan Team is doing a beautiful job. I will definitely take the proposal to the concerned and will be updating you on the prospects. Let be positive.</div>

<br>
we currently don't have any plans to implement a full-fledged stroke<br>
command line configuration tool. If someone is willing to do that<br>
e.g. along the lines of the obsoleted whack interface but using the<br>
stroke_msg structs<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/repository/revisions/master/entry/src/stroke/stroke_msg.h" target="_blank">http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/repository/revisions/master/entry/src/stroke/stroke_msg.h</a><br>
<br>
then anyone is invited to contribute to such an interface. Also if some<br>
organization is willing to sponsor the development then we would<br>
prioritize a stroke command line interface on our todo list.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Andreas<br>
