This document describes how to set up a IKEv1 VPN connection between a LANCOM router and the Apple iPhone or iPad client.
Requirements: Procedure: 1. Configuring the LANCOM Router:
Configuration of the VPN connection on the router is initially conducted with the Setup Wizard. You then have to manually edit/add two items.
1.1 Start the program LANconfig and double-click on the router which is to be set up with the VPN.
1.2 Select the item Provide remote access (RAS, VPN).
1.3 Select the item IKEv1.
1.4 Here you select VPN connection with user-defined parameters for the remote access to the router.
1.5 Enter the name for the VPN connection here (e.g. VPN_IPHONE).
1.6 Here you enter the preshared key for the connection. The iPhone configuration describes this item as the shared secret.
1.7 Press "Next" without making any changes.
1.8 Here you set the local and remote identity types to Key ID (group name) and enter a description for the local identity and remote identity; in our example we have taken iphonetest.
1.9 The iPhone VPN client does not support PFS, so remove the check mark for Use the PFS algorithm for this connection.
1.10 The following options can be used with their default values.
1.11 Here you specify the local IP address to be allocated to the iPhone for its VPN connection.
1.12 The following item optionally allows you to limit the access of the iPhone VPN client to certain networks.
1.13 This completes the initial configuration with the Wizard. Close the final dialog window by clicking on "Finish".
1.14 As mentioned earlier, the next stage in setting up iPhone remote access is to manually edit the following items in the configuration.
In the program LANconfig, open the item VPN → IKEv1 → Connection list and select the VPN_IPHONE connection.
1.15 Set the item XAUTH to Server and click on OK.
1.16 Now open Communications → Protocols → PPP list and click on Add.
For the Remote site select the VPN connection selected earlier - in this case VPN_IPHONE - and enter a password.
The field for User name is left empty. Finally, click on OK.
This concludes the configuration of the LANCOM VPN router.
2. Configuring the Apple iPhone or iPad:
2.1 Under the VPN setting, select the item VPN and add a VPN configuration.
- Give the connection a unique description; in our example we have taken LANCOM.
- As Server enter the WAN IP address or the domain; in our example this is " vpn.lancom.de ".
The LANCOM must be accessible via WAN at this address. For the items Account and Password enter the VPN connection name and the password as defined in the LANCOM.
These two items were entered earlier into the PPP list. In our example, this is the account VPN_IPHONE. The password is concealed.
