Re: [Users] safenet and superfreeswan

You are using SuperFreeS/WAN 1.99.8 which is based on version 0.9.32 of the X.509 patch. Unfortunately this version cannot handle multiple certificate requests yet. This feature was introduced with version 0.9.33.

Excerpt from the X.509 CHANGES file:

Version 0.9.33


  • Until now only one certificate request (CR) payload could be handled. Now multiple CRs are collected and are taken into account when selecting an appropriate connection.

Your SafeNet client is currently configured to send CRs for all CAs that it knows of:

| requested CA: 'C=DE, ST=NRW, L=Aachen, O=Allflex, E=ca@allflex.de'

| requested CA: 'DC=com, DC=microsoft, CN=Microsoft Root Certificate Authority'

| requested CA: 'OU=Copyright (c) 1997 Microsoft Corp., OU=Microsoft

                  Corporation, CN=Microsoft Root Authority'

| requested CA: 'C=US, O=MSFT, CN=Microsoft Authenticode(tm) Root Authority'

| requested CA: 'O=Microsoft Trust Network, OU=Microsoft Corporation,

                  OU=Microsoft Time Stamping Service Root, OU=Copyright
                  (c) 1997 Microsoft Corp.'

| requested CA: 'O=VeriSign Trust Network, OU=VeriSign, Inc., OU=VeriSign Time
Stamping Service Root, OU=NO LIABILITY ACCEPTED, (c)97 VeriSign, Inc.'

| requested CA: 'C=hk, O=C&W HKT SecureNet CA SGC Root'

| requested CA: 'C=FR, O=Certplus, CN=Class 3TS Primary CA'

| requested CA: 'C=MX, CN=Autoridad Certificadora del Colegio Nacional de

                  Correduria Publica Mexicana, A.C., O=Colegio Nacional de
                  Correduria Publica Mexicana, A.C.'

| requested CA: 'C=us, ST=Utah, L=Salt Lake City, O=Digital Signature Trust Co.,
OU=United Parcel Service, CN=DST (UPS) RootCA, E=ca@digsigtrust.com'

| requested CA: 'C=FR, O=Certiposte, CN=Certiposte Classe A Personne'

| requested CA: 'L=ValiCert Validation Network, O=ValiCert, Inc., OU=ValiCert

                  Class 1 Policy Validation Authority,
                  CN=
http://www.valicert.com/, E=
info(at)valicert.com'

Workarounds:

  1. Use the SafeNet Certificate Manager to restrict the trusted CAs to your private CA (Just click the correct box). Then only one CR is sent and FreeS/WAN will be able to select the correct connection.
