[BUG] invalid config file '/var/etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf'

[MichelZ]

Hi

After an update to 2.2 from 2.1.5, I get the following when IPSec should start (was working in 2.1.5):

Jan 24 16:12:39 ipsec_starter[73005]: unable to start strongSwan – fatal errors in config
Jan 24 16:12:39 ipsec_starter[73005]: invalid config file '/var/etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf'
Jan 24 16:12:39 ipsec_starter[73005]: /var/etc/ipsec/ipsec.conf:19: syntax error, unexpected EQ [=]
Jan 24 16:12:39 ipsec_starter[73005]: Starting strongSwan 5.2.1 IPsec [starter]…

Line 19 of ipsec.conf is:
leftid = C=CH/ST=Aargau/L=Baden/O=TechFreak/emailAddress=XXX/CN=vpn.example.com

which is the ASN.1 DN in the VPN Phase 1 Config.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Michel

I was able to fix this by enclosing the ASN.1 DN values with double quotes (").

I have added Bug #4275
