[strongSwan-dev] strongswan 5.2 (backports) tunnel failed for 3des encryption

[Jayapal Reddy]

Hi,

I have configured site to site vpn on strongswan 5.2 with encryption 3des.
The tunnel is failed to come up when I use 3des. But it is working with
aes128.
Some of the posts suggesting des plugin need to be enabled for 3des to
work.
Can some one suggest me how to enable the des plug in on the setup.

Thanks,
Jayapal

Hi Jaypal,

the "des" plugin is built by default and loaded automatically when
the charon daemon starts. Do you use an explicit "load = "
statement in the charon section of strongswan.conf enumerating
all plugins to be loaded? If yes, just add "des" to the list.

Regards

Andreas
