IPSec site-to-site Reauthentication

How do I enable reauthentication for site-to-site IPSec connections ?

    Thank you for the response.

    I think I need to elaborate the situation a bit more.

    I am initiating the connection to a remote (not under my administration) Endian firewall.

    My key-lifetime is much lower than the responders. The tunnel is working fine. Rekeying works fine.

    When the peer reaches its key lifetime it disconnects the tunnel, forcing a reconnect.

    I am assuming (based on laboraty testing) that the peer wants reauthentication. But I don't see any AUTH_LIFETIME in my logs, as opposed to my test setup.

    I guess that's the main issue.

    I was hoping there is an "easy" way to set reauth=yes in my configuration files to prevent this disconnect.

    Furthermore, when the peer disconnects, it is initiating a connection too (which would be fine on it's own), but not "correctly". The Endian firewall is using "multi-selector" configuration, somewhat explained here: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K96223265.

    But Sophos doesn't seem to understand that and only connects one part of the tunnel, resulting in a non working setup.

    Why not set your key-lifetime for the tunnel to same size as peers?
