Hi Daniel,

Yes, you are correct. I know the remote IP address but dont know the
DN of the remote peer. If I remember correctly, when using DN
wildcards, I was getting error which said
"cannot initiate connection with wildcards". I am using strongswan 4.3.4.

Can you tell me what version of strongswan u r using ? Also, would it
be possible to establish the connection if we specify
rightid="/CN=*/", though the DN of the peer contains all the values( I
mean C, ST, O,...)

If possible, can you please test on your setup, if specifying
rightid="C=*, ST=*, O=*, OU=*, CN=*, E=*" like this establishes the connection.

Thanks in advance!

regards,
Ashish.
