A profile is a simple text file containing XML nodes with a +``.mobileconfig`` file extension that can be sent and opened on any device +from an E-Mail. + +Profile generation happens from the operational level and is as simple as +issuing the following command to create a profile to connect to the IKEv2 +access server at ``vpn.vyos.net`` with the configuration for the ``rw`` +remote-access connection group. + +.. note:: Apple iOS/iPadOS expects the server name to be also used in the + server's certificate common name, so it's best to use this DNS name for + your VPN connection. + +.. code-block:: + + vyos@vyos:~$ generate ipsec profile ios-remote-access rw remote vpn.vyos.net + + ==== <snip> ==== + <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> + <plist version="1.0"> + ... + </plist> + ==== </snip> ==== + +In the end, an XML structure is generated which can be saved as +``vyos.mobileconfig`` and sent to the device by E-Mail where it later can +be imported. + +During profile import, the user is asked to enter its IPSec credentials +(username and password) which is stored on the mobile. |
