[strongSwan] Can charon pass through "vendor-specific" EAP payload to an external entity

[Vijay Pandian]

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for the additional clarifications on the PLUGIN_PROVIDE usage for this use case.

Managed to find a few existing plugins that have both the EAP_SERVER and EAP_PEER implementations. Will check them out!

Regards,
Vijay

No, the existing usages of e.g. EAP_SERVER are without vendor ID.  The identifiers when using a vendor ID are the ones I gave before (EAP_SERVER_VENDOR and EAP_PEER_VENDOR).

You can find them yourself by searching for the EAP_SERVER/EAP_PEER plugin features.
