[strongSwan] Issue establishing a connection with strongswan

[Joe O]

Hi Tobias,

that was definitely the issue. Thanks for leading me down the right path. I was under the impression that strongswan was using the mysql DB to obtain the PSK for Cisco IPsec connections but it seems that I was wrong. 
Would you happen to know if that is possible ?
