For now, please add it to /etc/ipsec.secrets manually.

We're working on a patch to openswan to allow it to add/del the secret via
the "ipsec whack" interface. But we need to do it right, without exposing
it on the commandline or using a temp file. Openswan normally keeps the
secrets in a pool, and does not associate the secret with a specific
connection, so this functionality needs to be added.

the syntax is:

%any gateway.corp.com: PSK "shared secred"
