[strongSwan] ikev1 without specifying rightid

[Marwil, Mark-P63354]

I also forgot to mention the hardware on the right is a Cisco ASA 5505.
Would it be possible to authenticate to the gateway if I have the left
side has the  CA cert that signed the right's identity cert?


Thanks for the help!
Mark

Hi Mark,

whereas IKEv2 allows a peer to initiate a connection with the other
endpoint's ID given by a wildcard expression (in that case the optional
IDr will not be not sent), this not possible with IKEv1.

Regards

Andreas
