[strongSwan] ipsec pool file with certificates

[Andreas Steffen]

The '/' and ',' characters are reserved for separating the
individual Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs).

  openssl x509 -in carolCert.pem -notext -subject

returns

  subject= /C=CH/O=Linux strongSwan/OU=Research/CN=carol at strongswan.org

and which can be used with right|leftid.

Thus "ST=n/a" will cause a syntax error.

Regards

Andreas
