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

Check Text (C-283450r1188541_chk)

Verify the IPsec service uses the system crypto policy with the following command: Note: If the IPsec service is not installed, this is not applicable. $ sudo grep include /etc/ipsec.conf /etc/ipsec.d/*.conf /etc/ipsec.conf:include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/libreswan.config If the IPsec configuration file does not contain "include /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/libreswan.config", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-87920r1188427_fix)

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