Comma separated proposals to accept for IKE.
- A proposal is a set of algorithms. For non-AEAD algorithms, this includes
- for IKE an encryption algorithm, an integrity algorithm, a pseudo random
- function and a Diffie-Hellman group. For AEAD algorithms, instead of
- encryption and integrity algorithms, a combined algorithm is used.

- In IKEv2, multiple algorithms of the same kind can be specified in a single

Use childless IKE_SA initiation (RFC 6023) for IKEv2, with the first

(the default), _prefer_, _force_ and _never_. If set to _allow_, responders
will accept childless IKE_SAs (as indicated via notify in the IKE_SA_INIT
response) while initiators continue to create regular IKE_SAs with the first

- For AH, this includes an integrity algorithm and an optional Diffie-Hellman

- If a DH group is specified, CHILD_SA/Quick Mode rekeying and initial
- negotiation use a separate Diffie-Hellman exchange using the specified
- group. However, for IKEv2, the keys of the CHILD_SA created implicitly with
- the IKE_SA will always be derived from the IKE_SA's key material. So any DH
- group specified here will only apply when the CHILD_SA is later rekeyed or
- is created with a separate CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange. A proposal mismatch
- might, therefore, not immediately be noticed when the SA is established, but
- may later cause rekeying to fail.
