[strongSwan] Help! I can't configure Windows 10 to send remote id (leftid) for IKEv2

I have looked through the options but can not find it. Would be very grateful if you could describe how to do it when you have time.

I am using the VPN client built-in Windows 10. I have searched for an option corresponding the "Remote ID" in macOS in the following locations to no avail:
 - Settings -> Network & Internet -> VPN
 - Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections
 - rasphone.pbk - %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk
 - PowerShell documentation for Add-VpnConnection and Set-VpnConnectionIPsecConfiguration

You can set the ID in windows 10 if you go through the options for the connection you will see it. Not near a computer otherwise I’d get you the instructions.

I'm curious about this as well. From my work on pistrong (see elsewhere), it looks to me like Windows doesn't have a way to send an ID that you can use for matching. I haven't tried this, but you might be able to make it work by using a separate "VPN certificate" for the Windows connection that has an altname in it corresponding to a secondary DNS name for your server. You can then have Windows connect to the secondary DNS name and, in theory, it would eventually match that connection.

Again, just a theory, I'm definitely interested in other approaches to solving this.

Hello,

I have a strongSwan server running with the ipsec.conf pasted below.

The clients are using Windows 10 and macOS and they must be able to choose connection. I am trying to separate the connections using "leftid" with different subdomains for each connection (e.g. vpn1.example.org<http://vpn1.example.org>, vpn2.example.org<http://vpn2.example.org>).

My solution below works in macOS by matching "Remote ID" with the appropriate "leftid", however I can't get it to work in Windows 10.

I am very grateful to any help or ideas of how I can solve this.
