[strongSwan] received invalid IKE header (OSX to Linux)

Hi Craig,

the OSX client sends an IKEv1 message but the strongSwan 4.6.4 charon
daemon expects an IKEv2 negotiation and therefore ignores all
IKEv1 messages.

Workarounds:

- Define keyexchange=ikev1 in ipsec.conf and start the pluto
  IKEv1 daemon  by setting plutostart=yes in the config setup
  section of ipsec.conf.

or

- Download strongswan-5.0.0rc1 which has a combined IKEv1/IKEv2
  charon daemon. You can omit the keyexchange parameter altogether
  so that the charon daemon will be able to handle both IKEv1
  and IKEv2 connections.

Best regards

Andreas
