ipsec verify indicates ERRORS "No tunnels up"

Question

I just installed openswan on Ubuntu14. I'm trying to connect to my work's VPN (I have access to the Firewall/VPN btw). When I do a

/usr/sbin/ipsec verify

I get the following:

Checking your system to see if IPsec got installed and started correctly:

When I do a

/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/ipsec status

I get the following

IPsec running  - pluto pid: 7702
pluto pid 7702
No tunnels up

However, I'm not connected to my VPN

Here is my ipsec.conf

config setup

    dumpdir=/var/run/pluto/
    #
    # NAT-TRAVERSAL support, see README.NAT-Traversal
    #        nat_traversal=yes
    # exclude networks used on server side by adding %v4:!a.b.c.0/24
    # It seems that T-Mobile in the US and Rogers/Fido in Canada are

    oe=off

    # Use this to log to a file, or disable logging on embedded systems (like openwrt)
    plutostderrlog=/var/log/pluto
    plutodebug="all"
    protostack=netkey

Here is ipsec.secrets

@admin : XAUTH  "xxxxxxxx"
%any   example.net   : PSK "xxxxxxxx"ny 

I also get the following errors in the pluto.log

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I resolved this by removing from

esp=aes256-sha256,modp1536

and adding

ike=aes256-sha1,aes128-sha1,3des-sha1
