Looking at your link above, it says:
If you need a PSK you will want to select Pre-shared key under the
Authentication: pull-down menu rather than EAP.
(Psk supported since version 1.3.1 of the strongswan nm plugin.)
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/NetworkManager
PSK is supported starting with NetworkManager-strongswan-1.3.1, but
strong secrets are enforced.
I guess strong secrets means strlen no less than 20.
I must be missing something.
