      No, that requires a different config.

      Edit:

      Required Config:
              leftauth=pubkey
              rightauth=eap-mschapv2
              eap_identity=%any

      and secret in ipsec.secrets:
      user@domain.loc : EAP "password"

      ipsec rereadall
      ipsec reload

      just tested it with WP8 + Win8, but still no traffic throughput

        I will play with certs and try EAP-TLS but have you the Algorithms proposal and hashes compatible with WP8.1?

        Thanks

        pfSense:
        ASRock -> Wolfdale1333-D667 (2GB TeamElite Ram)
        Marvell 88SA8040 Sata to CF(Sandisk 4GB) Controller
        NIC's: RTL8100E (Internal ) and Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual (Intel 82571GB)

          You can find the available proposals in the log files (with higher loglevel)
          I use this one: (Windows 8 and WP8)

          Phase1:
          AES 256
          SHA 256
          DH2

          Phase2:
          AES 256
          SHA1
          PFS 2

            @hepe,

            i used a config from strongswan samples for eap-tls.
            Though i will see to allow specifying different left and right auth.

              This one?
              https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/EapTls

              By default, the Gateway uses IKEv2 certificate authentication to prove its identity to the clients. But as EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication protocol, EAP-only authentication can be used by specifying leftauth=eap.

              As far as I understand it's possible to use eap-tls on the gateway, but usually it's pubkey.

                Hi there,

                I'm relatively new to pfSense. I have managed to get MSCHAP-v2 with IPSec working on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 by editing the files mentioned in this topic. I have been running pfSense 2.2 RC for a while now, so I was just wondering whether this kind of configuration will be implemented directly by pfSense, seeing as it is possible by the underlying software? If not, is there any way to prevent the configuration files from being auto re-generated by pfSense?

                  Hi,

                  I just created a bounty for eap-tls.

                  https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=86727.0

                  @kathode
                  I think an implementation of mschap-v2 will be a lot of work, because it requires a different format in  ipsec.secrets.

                          and in ipsec.secrets:

                          I modified the config, generated by your eap-tls implementation.

                            Ok this is merged on to master branch.
                            You have a config option to configure EAP-MSchapv2 and it will generate this config.
                            The preshared-keys entries can be specified the type PSK/EAP now.

                            You can either use the patch with the patch package or gitsync to master since at this times the differences are not huge with 2.2

                              Sorry I forgot one important thing:

                              The link to the private key has to be in ipsec.secrets (not only eap-mschapv2)
                              " : RSA /var/etc/ipsec/ipsec.d/private/cert-3.key"

                              (space at start)
                              https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/RsaSecret

                              I applied your patch, added the RSA key to the ipsec.secrets, and used this commands:
                              ipsec rereadall
                              ipsec reload

                              eap-mschapv2 WORKING on Win 8.1 Pro and Windows Phone 8.1!
                              Config:
                              Phase1: AES256/SHA1/DH2
                              Phase2: AES256/SHA1/PFS

                                That is already done according to me though i will double check.

                                Done it was just forgotten.
                                Test it and let me know.

                                  this has been merged into 2.2 as well.

                                    I just made a fresh test. (Windows Phone 8.1 / Windows 8.1 Pro / Windows 7 Pro)
                                    Everything is working fine with mschap

                                    I would say, eap-mschapv2 is now fully implemented, working and tested.

                                    Needed Win 8 Client config:

                                    Security: IKEv2
                                    Data encryption: Require encryption
                                    Authentication
                                    Use EAP Microsoft: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)

                                    The pfSense vpn cert need at least this EKU: 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1
                                    Also the vpn cert used by pfSense has to be accepted by the Win 8 machine (full trust of chain)

                                    @kathode I think you have to say "Thank you ermal!"  :D

                                      To confirm/clarify, that EKU is "TLS Web server authentication" which is added to the cert when "Server Certificate" is chosen in the pfSense GUI.

                                        First of all, thank you ermal and everyone else who contributed to this! Lack of EAP-MSCHAPv2 support has been preventing me to connect to my pfSense from my Windows Phone 8.1 phone but not any more.

                                        I struggled hours to get this to work. So that no one else does the same mistakes, here are everything I did wrong. First, I accidently used an old certificate generated - I believe for OpenVPN - a long time ago. Problem with this one was that it was a client certificate so it didn't include the needed EKU. After generating a proper server cert (and with my pfSense box DynDNS name in Alternate Names) I finally managed to get IPSec to work with my Android tablet using strongSwan client.

                                        At this point my WP8.1 phone nor Windows 8 PC still didn't want to connect. This time the problem was that although I had installed the server cert so that Win8/WP8 would trust it, I hadn't installed CA root cert which is also required, as stated in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd941612%28v=ws.10%29.aspx. After installing the root cert in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities per-computer certificate store (very important it's exactly this one) Win8 PC finally connected.

                                        With WP8 I stumbled a small problem, though. Whereas Win8 PC reports the configured identifier properly (let's call it user), my Lumia prefixes it with Windows Phone so pfSense sees it as Windows Phone\user. This would require identifier to be in ipsec.secrets as in "Windows Phone\user" : EAP password. However, pfSense GUI doesn't allow spaces, backslashes or quotation marks to be included in identifiers. If I manually add the above line in ipsec.secrets and reload it, connection works also with WP8. Configuration is overwritten quite often automatically, though, so this workaroung doesn't work for very long.

                                        Would it be difficult to make the inclusion of _Windows Phone_ possible in key identifiers? Or is there another way to do this?

                                        Again, thank you everyone who has been involved in this!
