Technical Meaning

The ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_SA_DELETED error (13807, 0x35EF) indicates that an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Security Association (SA) was deleted by the peer before its establishment could be completed. This typically occurs in scenarios where one party initiates an IPsec session but the other party terminates it prematurely.

Error Details

This error is specific to the IPsec/IKE protocol stack and relates to the management of security associations during the IKE negotiation process. The IKE SA, which is a key component for establishing secure communication channels between two parties, was terminated by the peer before the establishment could be fully completed. This can happen due to various reasons such as policy changes, network issues, or misconfiguration.

Usage Context

This error typically appears in scenarios where IPsec/IKE negotiations are initiated but fail due to premature termination of the SA by the peer. It is commonly encountered during troubleshooting and debugging of IPsec tunneling issues.

Developer Interpretation

Developers should interpret this error as an indication that the IKE SA was terminated prematurely, which can disrupt secure communication between two parties. This error does not provide specific details about why the termination occurred but serves as a general indicator that the negotiation process did not complete successfully.
