[strongSwan-dev] StrongSwan with Radius

Can you specify in more detail what this "radius-common-pw" does? Is
this a RADIUS, an XAuth, an EAP or an IKE PSK secret?

If you want to authenticate over RADIUS, probably you should configure
secrets on the AAA backend. If you want to authenticate users with a
single secret configured in strongSwan, you should probably use
ipsec.secrets with an entry matching to all clients.
