Re: [Users] x.509 and ipsec.secrets

Currently you can have several different private keys for roadwarrior
connections only if you define them explicitly for each roadwarrior:

"<DN of roadwarrior 1>" : RSA <private key 1>

"<DN of roadwarrior 2>" : RSA <private key 2, might equal private key 1>

...

where DN is a distinguished name of the form C=DE, ST=state, ...

additionally you could then have a single anonymous definition for
your existing rsasig tunnels:

 : RSA <default private key>

Or the other way round: A single anonymous definition handling all
your roadwarriors and an explicit definition for each of your
tunnel connections using a second private key.

What is not possible right now, are anonymous definitions of the kind:

 : RSA <private key 1>

 : RSA <private key 2>

This will become reality in version 0.9.10 of the X.509 patch to
be released concurrently with freeswan-1.97.
