[strongSwan] Issue establishing a connection with strongswan

Hi Joe,

Yes, that should be possible.  You'll find several examples using PSKs
at [1].  However, they use IKEv2 and pull the complete config from the
database (not just the secrets), which is not necessary.  Also, for
IKEv1 the PSK lookup is initially based on the IP addresses, so you
have to consider that when associating identities with the PSK.

Tobias
