In iOS IPSec VPN Server on Ubuntu, I host a VPN on Ubuntu 13.10 based on StrongSwan 4.x, working for iOS, but not for OSX.
Then I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, which has StrongSwan upgraded to 5.x, error like:
|
1 |
Apr 24 14:56:46 sskaje charon: 15[CFG] no XAuth method found |
To fix this, install all strongswan’s plugins by:
|
1 |
apt-get install strongswan-* |
And make some changes to configurations:
/etc/ipsec.conf:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
config setup # plutodebug=all # crlcheckinterval=600 # strictcrlpolicy=yes # cachecrls=yes #nat_traversal=yes #charonstart=yes #plutostart=yes ... conn %default left=%defaultroute leftsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 forceencaps=yes compress=yes auto=add #pfs=no ... |
/etc/strongswan.conf:
Replace with strongswan.conf.dpkg-dist
After these, VPN is connectable by OS X but DNS settings is not pushed to the client-side
/etc/strongswan.d/charon.conf:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
... # DNS server assigned to peer via configuration payload (CP). dns1 = 8.8.8.8 # DNS server assigned to peer via configuration payload (CP). dns2 = 8.8.4.4 ... |
DONE.
If you get a error saying the certificate is not trusted, and then check /var/log/system.log, you may found

If you have debug logging enabled in /etc/racoon/racoon.conf like
|
1 2 3 4 |
# "log" specifies logging level. It is followed by either "notify", "debug" # or "debug2". log debug; path logfile "/var/log/racoon.log"; |
You may see more detail in /var/log/racoon.log, kSecTrustResultRecoverableTrustFailure might be a useful keyword.
Google it, the only useful article is http://www.traud.de/vpn/ but still not working here.
I tried on my macbook pro, and also as a dude told me, the Root CA I gave and the mobileconfig worked without any error nor warning.
But on my mac mini and from some others, error like above, which stopped me getting ipsec on os x work before.
I tried to delete the certificate, both root ca and client’s, from Keychain Access app, and the mobileconfig from Profiles in Preferences, reinstall like firstly CA secondly mobileconfig, check if the mobileconfig is signed and has passed the certificate verification, green light on then there it goes.
