Hi Martin!
Yes you correctly interpret my vague question. Thanks for your answer.
Is it possible to create plugin of my own to request credential/password?
Main obstacle I see here is how IKE daemon will behave itself in case of
long plugin callback execution time as user can be quite slow in response.
Another question I want ask: Is there anything like "ipsec stroke
user-creds"
to setup password for private key decryption during public key auth?

Hi Alexander,
Is it possible to use XAuth not with secrets file, but with
interactive credentials request from user? Is there any interfaces for
that?
I assume you refer to the client that initiates a connection?
When using an ipsec.conf configuration, you may use the "ipsec stroke
user-creds" commands to set a username/password for a connection before
initiating it.
For a more interactive prompt, you may consider using charon-cmd [1],
which by default prompts for XAuth or EAP credentials. Other client
specific frontends, such as the NetworkManager plugin or our OS X
client, do this in a similar way.
Maybe something planned in VICI?
You can configure credentials at any time using vici, and also clear
them (all). A credential request mechanism, where the daemon asks a
connected vici client for an XAuth password, is currently not
implemented.
