[strongSwan] Issues when loading rsa private key

[Sameer Agrawal]

Hi

I am using strongswan-4.5.2 and seeing some issue with loading rsa
private-key when I try to establish site-to-site connection.
I tried both "openssl" and "ipsec pki tool", however I am seeing the
following error when loading the key.

Using OPENSSL
==============
openssl genrsa -out ssl_r.pem 256

Key generated -> ssl_r.pem file
=================================
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----


Error message from pluto src code:
===========================
loading secrets from "ssl_r.pem"
line 2: unexpected end of id list
line 3: unexpected end of id list
line 4: unexpected end of id list
line 5: unexpected end of id list

and finally, ike alg: unable to retrieve my private key.


I faced similar issue when using "ipsec pki" tool too. Can you please
let me know what can i do so that the secret key is loaded correctly.

Thanks
