Trying to use Strongswan to connect to a work VPN and getting "selected peer config inacceptable" errors in the logs which I haven't been able to find any info on in Google:

It looks to me like phase 1 is successful, but then I can't see why I get NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN at phase 2. I am 100% sure the esp propsal and lifetimes are correct (they work from a different VPN client on a Windows machine).
But I don't really understand the lines:
selected peer config 'VDI' inacceptable
no alternative config found
XAuth authentication of 'DR400' (myself) failed
If the XAuth password is actually wrong the responder sends XAuth message: User Authentication Failed ! Try Again. What could be causing "selected peer config inacceptable" and this early XAuth failure?
Since only the initiator/client uses XAuth for authentication, rightauth2=xauth has to be removed.
Note that using Aggressive Mode with PSK/XAuth is very insecure.
