      Can you try with as usual but adding rightsendcert=never?

      Can you also try a config as per  https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7EapMultipleConfig

        Your link is pointing to a working eap-mschapv2 config (the one I used for my first tests with mschap)

        I tried it now, and some days ago, with this config and many variations without success
        https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7UserMultipleConfig

        Windows 8
        Jan 15 22:36:08 charon: 11[JOB] deleting half open IKE_SA after timeout
        Jan 15 22:36:00 charon: 11[NET] sending packet: from Server-IP[500] to Client-IP[500] (108 bytes)

        Windows Phone

                rekey = yes
                installpolicy = yes
                type = tunnel
                dpdaction = none
                auto = add
                left = 123.123.123.123
                right = %any
                compress = yes
                ikelifetime = 28800s
                lifetime = 3600s
                rightsourceip = 172.16.94.0/24
                ike = aes256-sha256-modp1024!
                esp = aes256-sha1-modp1024,aes256-sha256-modp1024!
                leftauth=pubkey
                rightauth=eap-tls
                leftcert=/var/etc/ipsec/ipsec.d/certs/cert-3.crt
                rightsubnet = 172.16.94.0/24
                leftsubnet = 0.0.0.0/0
                rightsendcert=never
        

        I really need some sleep, I will continue until tomorrow evening, and I hope that with the windows 8 debug files it should be easier to find the issue. - Windows Phone is hard to debug.

          After hours of testing and searching I finally could connect with a workaround, which is unusable for productive use :(

          My test environment: (I can give you direct access if you like - just pm me)

          Certs generated by pfSense (root cert / vpn cert / client cert - vpn cert with the DNS name as SAN)

          
          pfSense 2.2 RC Config
          	WAN	84.123.123.122
          	Lan	192.168.123.1 
          	EAP-TLS:
          		My identifier: fw.test.domain.local
          		My Cert:	fw.test.domain.local (Server Cert / Alt.Name: fw.test.domain.local/ issued by Test-CA)
          		My CA:		Test-CA
          	P1:	AES 256 / SHA256 / DH2 / Lifetime 28800 / NAT AUto / DPD 10,5
          	P2:	Network: 0.0.0.0/0 / ESP / AES256 / SHA1 / PFS OFF / Lifetime 3600
          Win 8 Config
          	LAN: 84.123.123.123 (direct WAN Access)
          	IKEv2 Config:
          		Hostname: fw.test.domain.local
          		Type: 	IKEv2
          		encryption:	Require encryption
          		Authentication: EAP
          			Use a certificate on this computer (advanced: issued by Test-CA)
          			Verify the servers identity
          			Connect to these servers
          				fw.test.private.domain
          			Trusted Root CA:
          				Test-CA
          			Use a different user name for the connection
          
          

          Connect:
          Cert: Test-VPNCLient
          Connection user name: C=US, ST=Vienna, L=Vienna, O=Test, E=test@domain.local, CN=Test-VPNClient

          Connection and successful traffic to 192.168.123.1 !

          Successful connection logs:
          Edit: removed connection log

            Connection without "Use a different user name for the connection" option and with variations of eap_identity (%any / %identity)

            charon: 16[IKE] EAP method EAP_TLS failed for peer 84.123.123.123
            ..
            charon: 16[TLS] no trusted certificate found for 'Test-VPNClient' to verify TLS peer
            ..
            charon: 16[TLS] received TLS peer certificate 'C=US, ST=Vienna, L=Vienna, O=Test-Hege, E=test@test.domain, CN=Test-VPNClient'
            ..
            charon: 13[IKE] received EAP identity 'Test-VPNClient'

            Edit: removed the log file

              What do you mean by unusable ?
              I did not understand why its unusable for production use?

                The VPN-user have to paste the full cert value as his username, which is very long and you can't save this value, so you have to insert this "username" every time.

                eap-tls have to work without any user-input.

                Also this workaround is not possible on Windows Phone, because you can't specify an username there.

                Edit: Maybe that is the solution https://lists.strongswan.org/pipermail/users/2010-October/000814.html - I will try that as soon as possible!
                Edit2: Yep, just a client cert issue, such a waste of free time…

                Cert requirements,

                • Full trust of chain (Root CA have to be installed on the client)

                • pfSense Server cert needs the EKU "Server Authentification", also the FQDN in the Subject Alternative Names

                • pfSense Client Cert needs the EKU "Client Authentification", also the CN name as a FQDN in the SAN

                ermal, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

                Please let me know, how I can donate my bounty to pfSense.

                  I think buying the gold package is the nearest donate approach :)

                  Thank you, hege for confirming it works.
