Pre-shared key

[jeromefurog]

Hi,

I'm using L2TP/IPsec servers and would like to know if we need to supply the pre-shared key for this library.

Any luck on this one ?

[jeromefurog]

for iOS, it's using IKEv2. Tried the sample app in iOS Simulator but it didn't work.

I don't think simulator can connect to a vpn. I'm using android physical device and can't find any option to provide preshared key as it is now required by all the providers.

[jeromefurog]

have you tried using IKEv2 instead of L2TP?

[syednytro]

Well yeah, IKEv2 works with this easily.

[jeromefurog]

did you fix your issue?

[syednytro]

Kind of. After a lot of research I found out IPSec has been removed/hidden from the sdk in newer android versions and can only be added manually.
So I used IKEv2.

@syednytro can you please explain how you use IKEv2 in same npm package?

[syednytro]

@me-saeed by just passing the hostname, username & password, but it doesn't always work. The authentication part is handled by the server. The server is was working with allowed me to connect with these three option only.
