Actually, I am trying to evaluate Nortel Client with our VPN gateway that
supports XAuth. Following are the two observations I have seen so far:
Firstly, I am seeing that Contivity Client is sending me the authentication
method as pre-shared key instead of expected xauth-presharedkey even though
I have selected Authentication option as "Username and Password
authentication" on Client

Secondly, if I accept the preshared key authentication method in the
Aggressive mode message sent by the client, the Gateway's response is not
being accepted by Nortel Client even though I took care of the pre-shared
key as prf(passphrase, username) as mentioned in this mail and the draft
<http://www.globecom.net/ietf/draft/draft-mamros-pskeyext-00.html> 

Some non-standard attributes are also being sent by the Client. Does the
client expects them back ?

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
- Meenakshi

I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here... but FreeS/WAN 
doesn't support XAUTH, so if you're trying inter-op, it won't work.
