During installation, you will be prompted to answer a question:

Would you like to install opportunistic encryption or would you like to generate a self-signed certificate?

Choose to generate a self-signed certificate.

An RSA private key is generated in /etc/ipsec.d/private/gatewayKey.pem :

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MLDKJFDLKSFJLKJLSDKFJfjsdlfjqlsdfLDFJLSKFJLKMLDKJFDLKSFJLKJLSD
...
fjqlsdfLDFJLSKFJLKMLDKJFDLKSFJLKJLSDKFJfjsdlfjqlsdfLDFJLSKFJLK==
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

The corresponding public key is generated in /etc/ipsec.d/certs/gatewayCert.pem.:

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
DMSFLKDMFLKSMDFLKSDFMKSMDFKL
...
DMSFLKDMFLKSMDFLKSDFMKSMDFKL/
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Warning, these are fake certificate, don't try to use them.

The line "Would you like to install opportunistic encryption or would you like to generate a self-signed certificate?" does not come and no certificates are created in
/etc/ipsec.d/private/ and /etc/ipsec.d/certs/ .

So Newbies like me hangs at this point and there isn't an explanation, how to create the certificates manually.

This point should be better explained, now it is impossible to handle.
