The roadwarrior <b>carol</b> sets up a connection to gateway <b>moon</b>. At the outset the gateway authenticates itself to the client by sending an IKEv2 <b>RSA signature</b> accompanied by a certificate. <b>carol</b> then uses the <i>Extensible Authentication Protocol</i> in association with an <i>MD5</i> challenge and response protocol (<b>EAP-MD5</b>) to authenticate against the gateway <b>moon</b>. In addition to her IKEv2 identity <b>carol@strongswan.org</b>, roadwarrior <b>carol</b> uses the EAP identity <b>carol</b>. The user password is kept in <b>ipsec.secrets</b> on the client <b>carol</b> and the gateway forwards all EAP messages to the RADIUS server <b>alice</b>.
