Description David Spurek 2011-08-24 13:24:56 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openswan-2.6.32-4.el6_1.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup /etc/ipsec.conf with:

conn testA
        auto=add
        authby=secret
        type=reject
        left=127.0.0.1
        right=127.0.0.1
        ike=3des-sha1
        loopback=yes

2.service ipsec restart
3.ipsec auto --up testA
  
Actual results:
Packets aren't dropped and command ipsec auto --up testA has output:
030 "testA": cannot initiate an authby=never connection

Expected results:
Packets are dropped

Additional info:
Same behaviour has type=passthrough and type=reject

Comment 1 David Spurek 2011-08-25 06:53:24 UTC
Sorry for mistake, ipsec.conf should be:

conn testA
        auto=add
        authby=secret
        type=drop
        left=127.0.0.1
        right=127.0.0.1
        ike=3des-sha1
        loopback=yes

Comment 2 Avesh Agarwal 2011-08-25 18:21:11 UTC
Whatever you are trying to achieve, you have to do following:

ipsec auto --route testA

And then observe if it does whatever you want to achieve.

In addition, why are you testing with openswan-2.6.32-4.el6_1.1 instead of openswan-2.6.32-6.el6?

Comment 3 David Spurek 2011-08-31 07:50:56 UTC
Funcionality is ok with command ipsec auto --route testA with openswan-2.6.32-6.el6.

But I find another problem with combination different types of connections.

ipsec.conf look like this:

conn testA
        auto=add
        authby=secret
        type=transport
        left=127.0.0.1
        right=127.0.0.1
        ike=3des-sha1
        phase2=esp
        loopback=yes

conn testB
        auto=add
        authby=secret
        type=passthrough
        left=127.0.0.1
        right=127.0.0.1
        ike=3des-sha1
        leftprotoport=tcp/10000
        loopback=yes

It is important the order of calling ipsec auto --route testA and ipsec auto --route testB commands.

1. If ipsec auto --route testB called first and then ipsec auto --route testA, the behaviour is as I expecting (packets on port 10000 are without ipsec)

2. But if I call ipsec auto --route testA first and then ipsec auto --route testB (stricter rule). All packets are with ipsec (on port 10000 too).


I am not sure that it is a bug or expected behaviour, but records in ip xfrm policy are same in both cases and in manual pages isn't describe that the order of calling ipsec auto --route is important.

Comment 4 Ondrej Moriš 2011-09-29 09:51:19 UTC
Avesh, we have double-checked this and it turns out that all types of connection (ie. option 'type' in conn settings) works fine. But, it appears to an issue with an order in which different types are 'routed'. Please see BZ#742126 [1]. As this bug seems not be valid anymore, I am closing is as NOTABUG.
