Hi all,

after testing the whole day around there is still no working solution for me.

What we have here:

1 Strongswan Server with IKEv2
1 FreeRadius Server
1 DHCP Server
1 Active Directory Server which is behind the RADIUS Server

Authentication via eap-radius and one type of connection which is working for the most clients.

Goal is to connect and authenticate all clients with the same connectionconfiguration

Working Clients:

Windows 7 x64
Android
MacOS X 10.9

Not working Clients:

Ubuntu 10.04 / 12.04

One question: has anybody such a configuration running ? Problem is that the Ubuntu Clients (with strongswan-nm plugin) do not cconnect cause the phase 2 (EAP-radius) is not working like the windows connection. For me it looks like the eap-tls tunnel is not coming up cause of a not accepted certificate. The certificates work fine on all the other clients.

ipsec.conf:

# ipsec.conf - strongSwan IPsec configuration file

config setup

conn %default
    keyexchange=ikev2
    ike=aes256-sha1-modp1024!
    esp=aes256-sha1!
    dpdaction=clear
    dpddelay=300s
    rekey=no
    left=%any
    leftsubnet=0.0.0.0/0
    leftauth=pubkey
    leftcert=[hiddenCauseOfPrivacy].pem
    leftid= [hiddenCauseOfPrivacy].net --> DNS Name
    leftfirewall=yes

conn win7rad
    right=%any
    rightsourceip=%dhcp
    rightauth=eap-radius
    eap_identity=%identity
    rightsendcert=never
    auto=add


What can we do to analyze this problem in deep.

Regards
Martin Shemon
