<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have enabled the error-notify Plugin via the following configuration option<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">but, am not seeing any notification produced for a peer-auth that is failing due to unavailability of the correct PSK on my server (implemented using strongswan 5.1.2).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">More specifically, I was expecting a ERROR_NOTIFY_PEER_AUTH_FAILED notification on the error-notify default socket but nothing really showed up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was using the standard error-notify utility invoked via<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>ipsec error-notify<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After some digging around in strongswan source code I have a suspicion that this error-notification, particularly for PEER_AUTH_FAILED, is implemented only for IKEv2 clients.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my case, my ipsec client is shrewsoft and using IKEv1.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anybody been successful in using error-notify for IKEv1? If yes, how do I go about this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or, am I missing something else?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
