[strongSwan] Strongswan failed to see the revoked certificate

Thu Jul 18 01:38:48 CEST 2013

Hi All, I have copy pasted ipsec.conf, strongswan.conf and openssl.cnf
below. Does anybody have any clue why strongswan is not seeing the revoked
certificate ? I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thanks,
Nagaraj
