[strongSwan] recurring problem of PSK, but cannot spot the error

[Izz Abdullah]

Or is your remote peer ID = cisco?  If it is equal to cisco, the following:

cisco : PSK password

I ran into this same problem when I first setup strongSwan.  The ipsec.secrets file is in the format like so:
RemoteID : PSK PSK_VALUE

192.168.168.161 : PSK password

No need for quotes, and since your ID of the remote peer is the same as the IP, then the above should work.

$ more /etc/ipsec.secrets
> 192.168.168.152 192.168.168.161 : PSK "password"
