Looking at your link above, it says: If you need a PSK you will want to select Pre-shared key under the Authentication: pull-down menu rather than EAP. (Psk supported since version 1.3.1 of the strongswan nm plugin.) https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/NetworkManager PSK is supported starting with NetworkManager-strongswan-1.3.1, but strong secrets are enforced. I guess strong secrets means strlen no less than 20. I must be missing something.
