Hello everyone,
I encounter a problem when trying to connect to a VPN server configured in IKEv2 from MacOS (Ventura 13.4.1).
The VPN server is a RRAS hosted in a Windows server 2019, its certificate is signed by my CA which presents the extensions required by Apple (KeyLength = 2048, KeyUsage = 0xA0, [EnhancedKeyUsageExtension] OID=1.3.6.1.5.5. 7.3.1; Server Authentication, etc.), it has the subject name (common name) as well as the alternative name (DNS name) with its public address, the root certificate has been imported and set to always trusted in the container.
I can connect without difficulties Windows clients, Linux (network manager/libstronswan), IpadOS (16.3.1), androids with stongswan app, and on old MacOS I can connect BigSur and Monterey.
I tried many thing in particular on the certificate template, or tried to import in other ways the root CA certificate.
I sniffed the network traffic a little and I can clearly see the flow reaching the RRAS but the latter only sends back a response and then nothing.
I note a detail in passing, when I launch the connection from my Mac it cuts off almost instantly making me think that there is a problem with the system of this Mac, I of course tried to reinstall it completely and also tested it from others Mac than this one also on Ventura, here is the log stack that I obtain during the phase where I try to initiate the connection :
