Hi,
I posted the following PR some time ago (late November) and it's languishing:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/14028
Can I get some reviews of it?
X.509 authentication is a more attractive alternative to simple PSK authentication (more entropy, less susceptible to dictionary attacks, etc).
It's a short series of commits that do:
* suppress multiple logging in /var/log/messages for authentication messages;
* adds the /etc/swanctl/conf.d/ which is read from /etc/swanctl/swanctl.conf but doesn't exist;
* cleans up some of the UCI and corrects the handling of the "updown" and "firewall" scripts (there is no "left" or "right" version, since it's always local by definition);
* adds new parameters "reauth", "fragmentation", "closeaction", "mobile" for greater completeness;
* the X.509 support, which is the most important part of this PR, but is actually a fairly trivial change;
* add support for a global "setup" config section, which contains the "cachecrls", "charondebug", "strictcrlpolicy", and "uniqueids" parameters;
It's all Shell and UCI changes, and the relevant .conf generation. Pretty straightforward.
Thanks,
-Philip
