To create a new directory for storing your own racoon configuration. If for some reason you do not want to use certificates, the proposed set up should also work with PSK, but SSL certificates are arguably more secure and in VPN Main Mode allow you to use FQDN, or USER_FQDN, etc., as the client's peer ID, rather than its public IP address which on a laptop is likely to change regularly.Ĭonfigure Apple Mac's racoon configuration next.

Also make sure you import the CA Certificate and edit its Trust settings to mark it as trusted. Configure your private key preferences, using the 'Keychain Access' GUI, so that it can accessed by /usr/sbin/racoon. Select your client SSL certificate, after you import it into the "System" keychain, using MacBook's 'Keychain Access' application. Server Address: .IJK (use your Netvanta's public IP address)Īccount Name: macbookpro (use your Netvanta's XAUTH details here) To configure the Apple Mac client, go to its Network Preferences GUI and create a new service, selecting from the drop down options: The Apple Mac Client SSL Certificate should also contain its FQDN in the subjectAltName field. It is important to add to the Netvanta certificate the IP address and/or its FQDN in the subjectAltName field, because Apple Mac reads those to determine the remote peer. NOTE: I created the SSL CA, Netvanta and MacBook client certificates using OpenSSL. Ip access-list extended VPN-10-vpn-selectors

Set up routes to implement a split VPN tunnel (optional).

Ping the Netvanta to confirm connectivity.

Run a script to set up Security Policies on the Apple Mac.

Configure Apple Macs' 'Cisco IPSec' VPN client GUI.

The main steps to get a VPN connection going are as follows: STEPS TO GET A VPN CONNECTION GOING BETWEEN APPLE MAC AND NETVANTA

The whole process of setting up the MacBook and getting it to connect is a bit of a chore, so 3rd party VPN clients may be an easier bet, if you do not have the patience to get this going.

In the example configuration below I offer a solution for creating a split VPN tunnel, so connections to the Internet from the MacBook do not go through the VPN tunnel, but via the local router. Unless you configure the Netvanta's firewall to forward VPN packets out through its WAN port, you will only be able to connect to PCs within Netvanta's LAN.

When it connects, racoon by default sets up a full VPN tunnel, with all and any connections from the MackBook directed through the tunnel to Netvanta.

You will also have to create an nf file with the required SA selectors and run this file manually as a script from a terminal, because Apple's racoon client will not pick it up and use it.

You will have to create a separate racoon configuration file with your settings and add an include directive in Apple's default /etc/racoon/nf file, to make sure the racoon client reads your modified configuration and executes it.

The Apple Mac's Network Preferences GUI does not provide sufficient settings to allow you to configure a connection with the Netvanta.

Even if you modify its nf file by setting 'mode_cfg off ', this client setting appears to have been hard coded by Apple and will still ask for MODE_CONFIG information from the router.

The Apple Mac client asks Netvanta for MODE_CONFIG data.

Even if Phase 1 completes, IPSec Phase 2 always fails. Attempting to connect without XAUTH is a hit and miss affair for IKE Phase 1.

The native Apple Mac 'Cisco IPSec' VPN client requires XAUTH.

Other recent OSX versions should work too.

I tried this on an Apple MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan v.10.11.6. Apple are using their own fork of racoon to manage IKE negotiation, but it will not work out of the box by just using the Network Preferences VPN GUI, without creating a separate configuration file for it. After various attempts I managed to get Apple Mac's native VPN client to connect to a Netvanta 3120.
