Description

Since others are posting to [[https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4784]]. I figured it's worth opening a new ticket instead.

A perfectly working 2.2-2.2.2 Mobile IPSec configuration has failed on 2.2.3.
for myself, on two different sites, configured as specified here: [[https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Road_Warrior/Mobile_Client_How-To]]

I've reset the shared keys, I've tried shorter, I've tried 1234, I've tried abc.

iOS error "The VPN Shared Secret is incorrect".

My setup is identical to the document mentioned above, other than my id / psk.

( I do wonder, since KeyID Tag is also broken after upgrade, if there is a off by 1 or something skewing the later options )
Btw, as Subject suggests I was using AES-NI, I've turned it off/rebooted since and verified with kldstat that it isn't loaded.

  • Priority changed from Normal to High

fixing some mobile IPsec scenarios broke iOS PSKs, I'm already looking into it.

but break some other mobile circumstances. Fix needs more investigation, but the above change will work for iOS, OS X and similar mobile clients with PSK+Xauth.

I saw this issue before updateing an tested the VPN before and after.
Just updated from 2.2.1 to 2.2.3 ipsec mobile clients have the same error message after update.

I had to change the patch to make it work in the 'system patches' package https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/System_Patches#Adding_a_patch
for the following line:

The patch did not fix the problem for me, i'm the onlyone using it currently.

We are running version 2.2.4 but we still appear to have this issue.

We followed the guide at:
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/IPsec_Road_Warrior/Mobile_Client_How-To

Client system is Mac OSX (Mavericks) and the error message is "The VPN Shared Secret is incorrect".

Do other people also still have this issue?

Hi,

I am running two pfSense firewalls on version 2.4.3 and I think this issue is still there. On both machines, I have Apple IOS clients with an old IPsec configuratio according to the wiki. They haven't been used for some time but now that I tried again I get the error "wrong shared secret" although nothing was changed and I even re-entered the information on those devices.

This ticket isn't relevant to 2.4.3. See #8426 for details and a patch.
