You are missing the "pem" plugin to decode PEM encoded files, and the
pkcs1 plugin to parse PKCS#1 encoded private/public keys.

If you disabled them during ./configure, you'll have to rebuild
strongSwan with them enabled. Do a "make clean" to rebuild them
properly.

If you have manually specified a plugin list, add the pem and pkcs1
plugins before loading the stroke plugin. We recommend to not set a
plugin load list manually, it is tricky to get it right.

Regards
Martin
