Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

Description Vladimir Benes 2011-11-03 10:44:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
when I tries to connect to vpn using aes-sha1;modp1024 I have to use it without space as with space (aes-sha1; modp1024) it times out. No fail but timeout. I would suggest removal of white spaces from this line. Does it make any difference if there is space or not?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.8.1-15.el6.x86_64
NetworkManager-openswan-0.8.0-7.el6.x86_64
NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.1-15.el6.x86_64
NetworkManager-glib-0.8.1-15.el6.x86_64
Comment 1 Avesh Agarwal 2011-12-15 20:35:16 UTC 
Why do you think that "aes-sha1; modp1024" should work?

Openswan parser works in its particular way and the format is specified in the man page, as is evident "man ipsec.conf". 

"
IKE encryption/authentication algorithm to be used for the connection (phase 1 aka ISAKMP SA). The format is "cipher-hash;modpgroup, cipher-hash;modpgroup, ..." 
"

Then why are you using the ike parameter in wrong way when it is clearly stated in the man page how it should be used?

Since this is documented, I would say we can close as NOTABUG.
