Hi,

I'm trying to establish a tunnel between my Android device and a Linux box
(Gateway). I want to use EAP-SIM authentication for which I added
triplets.dat in /etc/ipsec.d. My radius server is Linux hostapd server. My
problem is the radius server returns EAP-FAILURE every time and the logs
shows "*EAP-SIM: Could not get proper permanent username*".

Here is the content of my triplets.dat file on Android device, gateway and
Radius server:

404450114346034,00000000000000000000000000000000,342A64BC,F4F2E638219E031F
404450114346034,01010101010101010101010101010101,98A3D698,5676979FCAE7E78C
404450114346034,02020202020202020202020202020202,7C43A460,0534374F7E1F60A7


Is there anything wrong in the triplets.dat file and/or am I missing any
thing? Please help.


Here is some of the relevant log from the radius server:
