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.
