strongSwan does not support wildcard certificates.

#2 Updated by Hong Zhang over 5 years ago

So is there any further plan to support wildcard certificate?

#3 Updated by Andreas Steffen over 5 years ago

Wildcards in certificates are deprecated due to security reasons (see e.g. section 7.2 of RFC 6125)

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-7.2

Therefore do not expect us to support wildcards in strongSwan.

Andreas
