[strongSwan-dev] Embedded application integration - best practice

Hi,

Depending on the requirements of your plugin, writing a configuration
plugin as initiator is not that complex, just create the required
configurations and pass them to the controller. As a responder, provide
them via backend_t.

No. As said, the stroke socket format is designed to be compatible with
ipsec.conf and give as much compatibility with pluto as possible. But it
does not provide the full functionality of the IKEv2 protocol or the
charon daemon.
