IPSEC cannot use VIP interface

[gaeldb]

Hello everyone,

Issue detected today: When using a simple WAN CARP VIP, it's not possible to select this VIP as IPSEC interface. Working in the Pfsense GUI, but not in pfsense_ipsec. VIP interface are defined like: _vip5f0eebd19b2ea

failed: [****] {"msg": "_vip5f0eebd19b2ea is not a valid interface"}

- name: Create IPSEC tunnels (phase 1)
  pfsense_ipsec:
    state: "{{ item.state }}"
    descr: "{{ item.descr }}"
    interface: "_vip5f0eebd19b2ea"
    protocol: inet
    remote_gateway: "{{ item.gateway }}"
    iketype: "{{ item.ike }}"
    mode: main
    authentication_method: pre_shared_key
    preshared_key: "{{ item.key }}"
    myid_type: myaddress
    peerid_type: peeraddress

I will investigate this later, but probably a simple "interface name checking" issue?

Thanks

Can you share your config.xml file? Or at least all of the interface definitions?

Of course:

Interface in config.xml

and virtual IP part:

I have been running with this patch to pfsensible.core:

It allows you to provide vip:name_of_vip as ipsec_interface. I have no idea if that is the right way to solve the problem.

This is hopefully fixed in current master with cc083a7a35d02597b0471eb92ad98e0676675caf. Please test it out and report back. Thank you for the report and suggestion.
