[strongSwan] Ikev2 wildcards with MacOs clients

Someone will likely explain why using certificates sucks, but if you use certificates (one for each client device) you'll have fine-grained user access control (by revoking/deleting certs), and you don't need to list all the enabled certs anywhere in your config file.

Is it possible to have multiple email address in the “rightid“ parameter ? Maybe I can list all authorized users for each server instead of relying on Distinguished Names ?

Hi !

I installed StrongSwan to allow my users (mainly MacOs X clients) to use the native ikev2 authentication. Everything is working fine.

Now I would like to implement something like that : https://www.strongswan.org/testing/testresults/ikev2/wildcards/index.html ; allowing some clients to access some network and not the others.

Unfortunately I didn't see (or understand) the issue on that page (https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/AppleIKEv2Profile) :


  *   ASN.1 Distinguished Names can't be used as identities because the client currently sends them as identities of type FQDN.

As a result when I put rightid in my configuration it's not working because MacOsX is only sending a fqdn (an email address in my case) and not the Distinguished Name.

My question is how can allow (or deny) some network to some user?

I have a file that associates email address to "role" but I don't know how to use it. Maybe a plugin?

Any ideas/links?

Thank you!
