  No I don't think you missed it. The "framework" is just IKE and if
we want to use a credential in IKE we should use it directly and in the
most robust and misuse resistant way possible. In my opinionated opinion,
putting a pluggable framework, like EAP, into IKE was a mistake and
putting in another to use some particular credential would compound that
mistake.

  regards,

  Dan.
