Description
Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of the Libreswan service violate expectations and makes the system configuration more fragmented.

ℹ️ Check
Note: If the Libreswan package is not installed, this requirement is Not Applicable. Verify that the IPsec service uses the system crypto policy with the following command: $ grep -rE '^include ' /etc/ipsec.conf /etc/ipsec.d/ /etc/ipsec.conf:include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/libreswan.config /etc/ipsec.conf:include /etc/ipsec.d/*.conf If the IPsec configuration file does not contain "include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/libreswan.config", this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Configure Libreswan to use the systemwide cryptographic policy. Add the following line to "/etc/ipsec.conf": include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/libreswan.config
