Hi Farid,
the startup warning

> !! This is recommended for experts only, see
> !! http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/PluginLoad
is intended for newbies like you who don't know what they are doing
when meddling around with the strongswan.conf load statement:
- The pkcs1 plugin is missing so your private key won't get parsed:
> 00[LIB] building CRED_PRIVATE_KEY - RSA failed, tried 3 builders
> 00[CFG] loading private key from '/etc/ipsec.d/private/lmu56Key.pem'
> failed
- The x509 plugin is missing so your certificates don't get parsed:
> 00[LIB] building CRED_CERTIFICATE - X509 failed, tried 0 builders
> 00[CFG] loading ca certificate from '/etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/caCert.pem'
> failed
Just remove the load statement from strongswan.conf and you'll fare
much better!
