Hello all, I’ve been asked to connect my Gentoo box to a StrongSwan VPN
and was offered a .mobileconfig file as means to connect. Unfortunately,
this appears to be a special-Apple-only-format and I can’t make heads or
tails of the contents. I understand that the server is Ubuntu running
StrongSwan using a shared secret, but that’s all I know at this point,
so my questions are:
* Can I use NetworkManager (and as I understand it, LibreSwan) to
connect?
o If so, how do I translate the fields in the .mobileconfig to
gateway, group name, user password, group password, user name,
phase 1 algorithms, phase 2 algorithms, and domain? (The fields
presented in GNOME’s NetworkManager dialogue for an OpenSwan VPN).
* If I can’t (or shouldn’t?) use NetworkManager, what’s the right way
to handle this? Is there a utility for handling .mobileconfig files
in Linux?
