<div>Ok, thanks Andreas.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I just found out that Wolfgang Walter (<a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.strongswan.org/msg02152.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/users@lists.strongswan.org/msg02152.html</a>) had the same problem as I have now, and I am also using the same version of strongswan that he had used (4.4.0). Some work-around seems to be discussed in this chain. I will have a look at that as well.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks and regards,</div>
<div>Meera <br><br></div>
