Shrew Soft VPNClient Ver 2.1.6 Windows 7 Professional Openswan 2.6.28 on Centos 5.5 Server Sierra UMTS USB 308 Aircard
I am looking for a suitable Windows 7 IPSEC VPN Client. Shrew Soft looks like it might be a good option. In the site configuration the Mutual RSA Authentication field will not retain the ASN.1 Distinguished Name string that is entered in to the identification field. It will also not retain the Subject string loaded directly from the certificate. All I get after clicking on save is the first four characters of the string, C=NZ. The remainder of the string is missing. I am using x.509 certificates which are in use and working well on other Linux and Windows XP clients. I know the certificates are valid and I have not had any issue with the identifiers before. The normal string definition uses comma separators and single spaces between elements. I have tried changing the delimiters to / without spaces and these are retained in the field but then the authentication fails. I have not found any ASN.1 issues reported in the list or bug system apart from a changelog entry going back a long time ago. Is there possibly still an issue parsing ASN.1 strings? I would appreciate any advice about how to resolve this. Tony _______________________________________________ vpn-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shrew.net/mailman/listinfo/vpn-help
