<p>Pretty bad, isn't it.</p>
<p>Try to remember when you were first starting out and had
everything to learn, and had never gotten any of this working
yet. That's where I am.</p>
<p>I'm trying to give you everything you need to determine the
problem, and the key symptom is swanctl -L on the IPSec gateway
gives nothing. I believe I'm setting it all up as it's supposed
to be. SELinux Permissive. This is why I'm wondering if it's a
RedHat bug?</p>

<pre wrap="">The server uses the trust chain to verify that the client certificate is

Maybe not so obvious, but yes sir, modifications only made to
swanctl.conf and charon.conf, and daemon started with ststemctl
start strongswan-swanctl. (CentOS7) I've described in detail all
requested info in the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/HelpRequests">HelpRequests
page</a>, in my email to this list of 18/03/2018 16:52. The
problem hasn't changed, but I'll update it here:<br>

I'm using the bare minimum swanctl.conf and I've regenerated all
my keys and certs again, with multiple SANs for the IPSec
gateway. <br>
<br>
The IPSec gateway, is a virtual machine in the LAN, and DNATted to
by the LAN gateway<br>
<br>
The problem is when the phone tries to connect with the Android
app, its log says "NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN". The IPSec gateway's log
shows likewise. On the IPSec gateway there is no response to #
swanctl -L nor # swanctl -l.<br>
<br>
Also I would like to set the phone and other remotes to 'initiate
only' but there doesn't seem to be a way in the Android app. And
for other remote machines there no longer seems to be that option.<br>
<br>
On the IPSec gateway:<br>

Log levels are as per instructions, and charon.log is attached.<br>
