Fixed In Version: openswan-2_6_32-4_el6_1.1
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, Openswan failed to set up AH (Authentication Header) mode security associations (SAs). This was because Openswan was erroneously processing the AH mode as if it was the ESP (Ecrypted Secure Payload) mode, and was expecting an encryption key. This update fixes this issue, and it is now possible to properly set up AH mode SAs.
