  Hi,The charon-cmd is a command-line program forIKE Initiator. Is there CLI application that acts as an IKE Responder? If no, Iam thinking to design a stand-alone application (which will act as a Responder)that will communicate with the IKEv2 Charon daemon. Will it be an issue if Iwill do the followings?    
   - Instead of calling the confread_load ()(src\starter\confread.c)) to load and parse an ipsec.conf file, it will takethe configuration options (in ipsec.conf ) from command line and then populatethe cfg (starter_config_t structure). 
   - It will call the starter_start_charon ()(src\starter\invokecharon.c) to spawn a child process running Charon program. Thenit will pass those command line options to Charon via UNIX domain stroke socket.
Scripting ipsec.conf is cumbersome, is thereplugin that allows writing extensions initiating or responding with dynamicallycreated connections? If yes, pls suggest how to use the same.Regards,Chinmaya
