Hi Andreas,

Yes I did, as far as I can tell. After importing the certificate file, two certificates showed up in the "Certificates(Local Computer)->personal->certificates" store. One is the "win71" certificate and one is the "CA" certificate. I moved the "CA" certificate to the "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities" by dragging and dropping the certificate. When I double click the "win71" certificate, it shows something like this:

 Allows secure communication on the Internet
 Ensures the identity of a remote computer
 Proves your identity to a remote computer

 Issued to :win71
 valid from 5/15/2012 to 5/15/2013

 *You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate.

When I click on the "certificate path", it shows the path to the "CA" certificate on the top of the dialog box and on the bottom it says " this certificate is OK".

I compared the CA certificate on the Win7 and the one on the StrongSwan. They are the same CA certificate.

Just one note: I use ECDSA P_384 in the certificate. I don't think this is a problem but just wanted to mention that to you.

Looking at the log file of the Strongswan, it seems like that Strongswan hasn't got a chance to send the actual strongswan certificate to Win7. It only sent the "CA" certificate to Win7, and somehow Win7 couldn't validate that CA cert?

Another note: The Win7 is without the Service Pack 1.

Thank you for your gracious help.

Best regards,

Todd

Hello Todd,

did you pack the Windows 7 private key and matching X.509 certificate
together with the Root CA certificate into a PCKS#12 file (*.p12) and
imported this file into the Local Computer part of the Windows registry
via the mmc? Does clicking on the imported Windows 7 certificate tell
you that it has a matching private key?

Regards

Andreas

Dear all,

I would like to connect to strongSwan with Windows 7 using IKEV2 and Machine Certificate. I followed the instructions in the strongSwan Wiki but couldn't get it to work. When trying to connect i receive an error 13806 telling me that Windows is not able to find a valid machine certificate.

What i did so far:

- Created Root certificate, StrongSwan Certificate/private key, and Windows 7 certificate/private key using Openssl. - Imported the Windows 7 certificate and root Certificate to personal store and Computer Trusted Root Authorities (Local computer) respectively. Windows 7 indicates the certificate is valid and can be traced to the installed root certificate

Strongswan is running okay. "ipsec listcerts" indicates that the private key and the certificate are both loaded correctly.

Strongswan log:

Windows 7 is giving the Error 13806 message.

I even disabled the EKU checks according tohttp://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7CertReq and reboot the Windows 7 machine, still the 13806 error message.

I would really appreciate some help.

Thank you and best regards,

Todd
