Secret settings
Each tunnel also requires settings for how the local end point of the tunnel proves its
identity to the remote end point.
A sample secret section, which could be used with the connection section in ‘Connection
Settings’, is shown below.
# Commands to add a secret for psk auth
touch /etc/config/strongswan
uci add strongswan secret
uci set strongswan.@secret[0].enabled=yes
uci set strongswan.@secret[0].localaddress=192.168.209.1
uci set strongswan.@secret[0].remoteaddress= 100.100.100.100
uci set strongswan.@secret[0].secrettype=psk
uci set strongswan.@secret[0].secret=secret
uci commit
This will create the following output:
config secret
option enabled 'yes'
option localaddress '192.168.209.1'
option remoteaddress '100.100.100.100 '
option secrettype 'psk'
option secret 'secret'
If xauth is defined as the authentication method then you must include an additional
config secret section, as shown in the example below.
# Commands to add a secret for xauth auth
touch /etc/config/strongswan
uci add strongswan secret
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].enabled=yes
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].idtype=userfqdn
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].userfqdn=testxauth
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].remoteaddress=100.100.100.100
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].secret=xauth
uci set strongswan.@secret[1].secrettype=XAUTH
uci commit
