Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

"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: 

https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/commit/709e2a92d768afc6c78e5a243f0076ddec744c8a

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