Title:
VPNaaS: ipsec.secrets file permissions prevents LibreSwan from
starting
Status in neutron:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The man pages for ipsec.secrets generally state that the file should
be owned by root or super-user and access blocked to everyone else
(chmod 0600). Recent changes have dealt with the file permissions
issue. However, in neutron vpnaas the file ownership is that of the
process and due to strict permission checks through "capabilities",
this actually results in a failure to establish connections with
LibreSwan since pluto runs as root. This seems to be LibreSwan
specific.
