After uncommenting the load statement in strongswan.conf I am not
getting the ASN.1 parser error but still the loading of private key
fails. As follows
00[CFG] loading secrets from '/etc/ipsec.secrets'
00[LIB] building CRED_PRIVATE_KEY - RSA failed, tried 2 builders
00[CFG] loading private key from '/etc/ipsec.d/private/211Key.pem'
failed
Here is my strongswan.conf file
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# strongswan.conf - strongSwan configuration file
charon {
# number of worker threads in charon
threads = 16
# plugins to load in charon
load = des aes sha1 md5 sha2 hmac gmp openssl random pubkey xcbc
x509 stroke pkcs1 pem
#load = aes des sha1 sha2 md5 curl test-vectors pem pkcs1 gcrypt
x509 hmac stroke kernel-netlink updown
plugins {
sql {
# loglevel to log into sql database
loglevel = -1
# URI to the database
# database = sqlite:///path/to/file.db
# database = mysql://user:passw...@localhost/database
}
}
# ...
}
pluto {
# plugins to load in pluto
# load = aes des sha1 md5 sha2 hmac gmp random pubkey
}
libstrongswan {
# set to no, the DH exponent size is optimized
# dh_exponent_ansi_x9_42 = no
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
One more info. I have generated the keys using openssl command . In that
case is it required to load the openssl module in charon. ?
Regards
Shyam

Hello,
the error message from the ASN.1 parser means that the
file "/etc/ipsec.d/private/211Key.pem" does not contain
a private key but probably an X.509 certificate.
Kind regards
