Hello,

I have a question regarding authentication options in OpenIKED on
OpenBSD 7.2

On my test lab I have one OpenBSD 7.2 machine with OpenIKED configured
to use PSK and a macOS 13.2.1 client that can connect to it.

I read in: man iked.conf that PSK should not be used, so I am now

I don't see that in the iked.conf manual. There is some reference to not
using psk in /etc/examples/iked.conf but it's not clear whether that's
because of the need to share a single psk with all endpoints connecting
via the same iked.conf configuration line (certainly a problem when
you have multiple users from unknown IPs but perhaps not if used for
separately-configured lan-to-lan tunnels with strong randomly generated
psks) or whether it's something else.

Hi Stuart and list,

Yes, that is correct -- I am wrong about this showing in: man iked.conf. It's in examples and is the last example given:

    /etc/examples/iked.conf
        . . .
        psk "you-should-not-use-psk-authentication!"
