Apparently Apple iOS and iPadOS VPN clients now require a subjectAltName
in the client cert, not just the CN, to set up IKEv2 VPN tunnels.* The
subjectAltName can be the same as the CN; it just has to be present.

Questions about this:

1. Does the 'ikectl ca <CAname> certificate <hostname> create' command
support creation of X.509 certs with a subjectAltName defined in
addition to the CN?

If so, what's the syntax?

2. Can a separate standalone CA just create the certs with the necessary
SAN fields? Is it as easy as just dropping the root cert, the client
certs, and keys in these respective directories?

/etc/iked/ca
/etc/iked/certs
/etc/iked/private

If not, what else is needed? Thanks!
