Hello Kimmo,

With the xauth-eap plugin, yes. This is the same configuration that
you'd use for IKEv2 clients, Windows 7 Agile VPN for example.

Yes. AAA should request a (password based) EAP method, and the
strongSwan gateway acts as client for this EAP method using XAuth
credentials from the client. To use EAP-MSCHAPv2, pass
--enable-eap-mschapv2 to ./configure (and enable a MD4 implementation,
either through --enable-openssl or --enable-md4).

Regards
Martin
