[strongSwan] roadwarrior client on macOS?

[Zachary Cutlip]

Apple Configurator 2 (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator-2/id1037126344) works well for building IKEv2 VPN profiles for macOS and iOS. You can even edit the profile later (they’re just XML plist format) to configure options that aren’t exposed in the GUI, such as on-demand connection rules.

I created a profile in Configurator that I use as a template for scripts. That way I can programmatically generate and sign profiles that work on macOS and iOS devices. Be sure to regenerate guids if you do this.

If you want to sign your profiles, you can use Configurator to add your CA (assuming your org has its own) to the device. Then profiles signed with that cert will be trusted. You can sign with:
openssl smime -sign -signer /path/to/ca_cert -inkey /path/to/ca_key -outform DER -in ./MyProfile.mobileconfig -out ./MyProfile_signed.mobileconfig  -nodetach


Cheers,
Zach
