Subject: [strongSwan] user certificate could not be found via windows 7 vpn 
connect

To get confident with ipsec, I followed the configuration examples for 
estabslishing a secured host to host communication (with x509 pki certs) 
between two debian servers. That works fine :)


Now the real job:
I'm trying to configure a debian server talking ipsec to windows 7 clients.

Like in the example before, I create CA und client certs, following this 
instructions:
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/SimpleCA

Following "B) Authentication using X.509 User Certificates"
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7UserConfig
I also inlcuded "--flag serverAuth --flag ikeIntermediate"

an error occurred while clicking on the vpn-connect button:
"A certificate could not be found that can be used with this Extensible 
Authentication Protocol. (Error 798)"

I tried several things to solve it, by recreation of the windows client cert:
- Changing the common name in from "sun" to my actual username. Doesn't work.
- Merging the pubkey and private key to a single pfx file. The import dialog 
sais, "imported correctly into own certs", but is never shown in the cert 
manager.


Does anybody know how to create client certs, which Windows 7 accepts?

Best Regards, Johannes
