Re: [strongSwan] Problem signing the certificate by CA
>From the logs I see, I can deduce that openssl expects to find the key file at:
./etc/ssl/private/strongswanKey.pem
which according to the bash prompt, is:
/etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/etc/ssl/private/strongswanKey.pem
That doesn't look like the normal way of doing things, so I am assuming
it is wrong. I am guessing that you need to set dir like this (absolute
path):
dir = /etc/ssl
You had it set as : ./etc/dir, which is relative to the current working
directory (probably not what you intended).

Re: [strongSwan] Problem signing the certificate by CA
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to sign the user certificate from the certification authority bus
getting the following error:

moonCert.pem -notext
