Public bug reported:
At some conditions AppArmor Deny access of /usr/lib/ipsec/charon to a
/dev/tty, which causes a daemon restart:
Feb 24 07:06:04 vpn-01 kernel: [548017.000283] type=1400
audit(1456297564.902:21): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/usr/lib/ipsec/charon" name="/dev/tty" pid=24255 comm="charon"
requested_mask="rw" denied_mask="rw" fsuid=0 ouid=0
Feb 24 07:06:10 vpn-01 charon: 00[DMN] Starting IKE charon daemon
(strongSwan 5.1.2, Linux 3.13.0-48-generic, x86_64)
I'm not sure why charon request RW access to /dev/tty, but it was
started after installing and configuring xauth-eap plugin (it allows EAP
plugin to be used as backend for XAuth credential verification).
When strongswan is used with a Radius backend it creates additional
issues besides clients reconnection (radius continues to think that all
users are still logged in).
