Description Brent Eagles 2015-12-11 21:09:15 UTC

Copied from u/s: https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/issues/44

"I set up Openstack with VPNaaS.

During creation process of the VPN this command is executed:
ip netns exec qrouter-664940e8-6139-4c36-8fcc-ee9e06bd5212 ipsec checknss /var/lib/neutron/ipsec/664940e8-6139-4c36-8fcc-ee9e06bd5212/etc

The db files are always added to the directory /etc/ipsec.d
Looking at the bash script "ipsec" i saw that the variable IPSEC_NSSDIR_SQL is set only at the beginning of the script.
If a custom directory is specified, the variable IPSEC_NSSDIR_SQL is not changed.

Adding IPSEC_NSSDIR_SQL="sql:${IPSEC_NSSDIR}" resolved the issue."

We are experiencing this issue in our neutron CI system. Our current version of libreswan is 3.15. 

The patch has been already been merged u/s in:

Since we need a respin for 7.1.x for FIPS, we should pull this in.
