[strongSwan] null ciphering in stronswan and non-root execution of ipsec status

[Mao, Zhiheng]

Hi,

I have a sniffing and debugging need to examine the packets over the wire. Does strongswan 5.0.1 support null ciphering?  If yes, how can I configure it?

When checking the status, I need to be root in order to run the command ipsec status. Would it be possible to run this status command without being the root? I understand that the many options to the ipsec command require root privilege, but is there a way to do the status only as a normal user?

Thank you!

Zhiheng
