Well, there are a couple of resources: 1. generating certificates from Strongswan:
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/SimpleCA 2. import certificates on Windows machine https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Win7Certs 3. a nice enough how-to for Windows machines https://console.kim.sg/strongswan-ipsec-vpn-with-pre-shared-key-and-certificates P.S. generating #PKCS12 sets is a command of openssl, so You can look for its man, but all those thing above are enough, I suppose. ----- Исходное сообщение ----- От: MOSES KARIUKI Кому: Kostya Vasilyev ; Tobias Brunner ; IL Ka Копия: [email protected] Отправлено: 20 февраля 2019 г. 20:41 Тема: Re: [strongSwan] Strongswan on Ubuntu - Failure to connect from Windows 10 client -error: deleting half open IKE_SA with 154.**.***.** after timeout Dear Team, Thanks for your very valuable reply.

The connection type there looks good as IKEv2. Did you just fix this? The CA doesn't have a CRL link as I can see, so my theory about "ufw blocks port 443" looks wrong (and Il Ka's looks more likely). On the windows error code some possible causes have to do with the server certificate's subjectAltName - so you will want to dump the server cert the same way and examine that. But personally I'd still do PSK as a test, an easy way to be sure that everything else (except cert or eap auth) is working.

I have tried Googling but this also gives nothing. openssl x509 -noout -text -in ca-key.pem Any ideas. Sorry I am a newbie on this one. You want to do this with the certificate - not its key. But like I said it could be a red herring too - as Il Ka just wrote, it could be that Windows client tries several protos including PPTP/GRE, L2TP and so on ... ... which is a reason to make sure that Windows it's not trying to use some other protocol like PPTP or L2TP, and that you're not trying to use OpenVPN or some such. Tom Rymes just suggested you check your Windows connection properties. I second this. -- K On Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 12:40 PM Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> wrote: On Tue, Feb 19, 2019, at 12:34 PM, IL Ka wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 8:48 AM Kostya Vasilyev <[email protected]> wrote: >> Looks like the connection is "almost there" but gets blocked by your firewall (UFW) >> >> Very end of your log: >> >> Feb 19 02:10:01 VM-e2b7 charon: 11[NET] sending packet: from 102.1*9.2**.***[4500] to 154.77.***.**[4500] (772 bytes) >> Feb 19 02:10:01 VM-e2b7 kernel: [ 2543.189073] [UFW BLOCK] IN=ens3 OUT= MAC=06:97:9c:00:00:8f:00:1d:b5:c0:a7:c0:08:00 SRC=154.77.***.** DST=102.1*9.2**.*** LEN=52 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x20 TTL=116 ID=27223 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=54229 DPT=443 WINDOW=17520 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 >> Feb 19 02:10:30 VM-e2b7 charon: 14[JOB] deleting half open IKE_SA with 154.77.***.** after timeout > > > DPT=443 looks like OpenVPN or HTTPS. > IKE uses UDP/500 (or UDP/4500 in case of NAT). > > I am not sure this message is somehow connected to problem. > Could be unrelated - good find on the EAP-Identity But it could also be the client trying to fetch the CA certificate's CRL. Moses can you check if your CA cert has a CRL? openssl -text -noout -in your_CA_cert Is there a CRL? Is it an https:// link? X509v3 CRL Distribution Points: Full Name: URI:https://...... -- K
