Re: [Users] Win XP and FreeS/WAN (but works with Win2000)

The error you are reporting can have various origins:

- Does the validity range of your CA certificate form an outer
   bracket for the validity of FreeS/WAN's host certificate?
   If not then authentification will fail.

- Do you have some special characters like '&' or '@' in
   your Distinguished Name? '@' in E=... though seems to be ok.

- Do you use the same host certificate both for your XP client
   and FreeS/WAN. XP does not seem to like this.
