L2TP/IPSec connectivity issue
Hi. I've already registered problem in zyxel's support. But I think that problem could be in my certificates or some misconfiguration in L2TP, so I hope someone could give me a hint.

Hi, could anybody help me!!! I've configured L2TP/IPSec outgoing connection to the remote gateway Zyxel usg 100. I'm using certificates (from ca built on openssl) in phase 1. Auth in phase 2 is using login\password. CRL if published according extension of issued certificates. Everything works fine unless I turn on CRL check on Zyxel. In this case I get error 789. In zyxel's logs I can see that certificate was successfully checked in CRL and even (looks like) SA with built.: "Recv:[ID][Cert][Sig][Cr][Cr] "Phase 1 IKE SA process done" "Send: Notify:Initial_Contact". I tried to debug the problem using wfp ans IPSec audit policy. I figured out that the problem in on the PC in phase 1- Event id 4652: Error in ASN1 tag. Question: why this problem arises only with CRL check enabled on zyxel?! On with side the problem is (zyxel/pc or certificate itself)? By the way: if two zyxel establish VPN IPSec (site-to-site) connection there is no issue in their CRL check they do not form tunnel is remote peers certificate revoked. Thank for any help!!! <o:p>PS: here is the link for the zip with open keys in use: cert.zip</o:p> <o:p></o:p>

Hi, Since this problem occurs after enabling CRL check on ZyXEL, I suggest you contact ZyXEL support for better help because of involving a 3rd party product. Thanks for your understanding.
