I haven't been able to get the Apple Profile tool to work. But thanks to this post, I got a working IPSec config using PSK+XAuth<br />
https://www.thegeekpub.com/5855/pfsense-road-warrior-ipsec-config-works/</p>
<p dir="auto">This is the strangest part - when I look at the config generated by PF, it's just totally off.</p>
<pre><code>  &lt;key&gt;LocalIdentifier&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;string&gt;nsnetmbile&lt;/string&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;LocalIdentifierType&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;string&gt;KeyID&lt;/string&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;XAuthEnabled&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;integer&gt;1&lt;/integer&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;XAuthName&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;string&gt;admin&lt;/string&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;AuthenticationMethod&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;string&gt;SharedSecret&lt;/string&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;RemoteAddress&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;string&gt;X.X.X.X&lt;/string&gt;
                                &lt;key&gt;SharedSecret&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;data&gt;u%%sWqzk54hJ&lt;/data&gt; 
                                &lt;key&gt;OnDemandEnabled&lt;/key&gt;
                                &lt;integer&gt;0&lt;/integer&gt;
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">In that snippet, the XAuthName is set (why?) to admin. I don't have an admin user in my directory at all (it's called something else). And besides, I'd want users to use their own account names.<br />
Then there's the shared secret - I don't know what that line is, but it's nothing related to my PF install or network. It's just a random key, from what I can tell.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyone seeing this on their end too?</p>
