Dear Maintainer,

The eap_peap plugin seems to be missing from Debian builds of
strongswan.  This plugin may be available/needed in 5.2.x versions
of the packages in addition to 5.5.x

Has this bug been fixed ? As I am also not able to connect using EAP-
PEAP and the only reason suggested in #strongswan (IRC) was that EAP-
PEAP is not supported by the network manager strongswan plugin.

Dear Maintainer,

the EAP-PEAP module is still missing. Is there a plan to be added?

Thanks

Dear Maintainer,

I'm feeling really stupid, beeing the only one, unable to use certain
vpn connections i really need. Everyone else can connect: Windows
(naturally) Apple, Andoid, event iOS devices, but with my debian system
I can't use them.
Especially in university environments with quite diverse infrastructure
and mixed client systems, MSCHAPv2 is widely used for vpn or wifi
connections and other stuff.
Even the ubuntu maintainer decided to reactivate eap-dynamic and
eap-peap, since it is really neended by people.
As I can see from #853266 and #843180, this request is out there for
years and no one ever answered.

Please include eap-peap again.

Just hit this bug very hard after our remote access was replaced from
OpenVPN to IPSec-only access. All devices can connect except the Debian
notebooks. Please bring back EAP-PEAP support into Debian - we don't
want to switch to Ubuntu.
