  5. in association with an <i>MD5</i> challenge and response protocol
  6. (<b>EAP-MD5</b>) to authenticate against the gateway <b>moon</b>.
  7. In addition to her IKEv2 identity <b>carol@strongswan.org</b>, roadwarrior
  8. <b>carol</b> uses the EAP identity <b>carol</b>.
  9. The user password is kept in <b>ipsec.secrets</b> on the client <b>carol</b>
  10. and the gateway forwards all EAP messages to the RADIUS server <b>alice</b>.
  11. <p/>
