Can not enter peer identifier

[uli1954]

Hi,
I am trying to setup an IPSec tunnel for an iPhone.
The setup procedure requires to put in a peer identifier (usually an email address)
Strangely these 2 fields don't show up  in my window. (see attached) What am I doing wrong?

I have the same issue too.

The peer identifier was unused and therefore removed. It is still in the docs by mistake, but it will be fixed.

Do you have issues with the mobile IPsec connections?

Hi All,

I'm having the same issue, and I can't get the Ipsec VPN to work without it!

I've found that you can type anything is iOS (10.2)'s "Group Name" field and succeed but you must type something. Leaving the field null (at least in the iOS client) will cause a "Negotiation with the VPN server failed." error message.

I'd like like to see OPNsense accept a null group name.

I'd modify the documentation to
A) remove references to the "Peer identifier" at Phase 1 proposal (Authentication)
B) update Configure OSX Client to indicate the the Group Name can not be null
C) update Configure iOS Client to remove the IPsec-id row from the example settings table
D) update Configure iOS Client to add a Group Name row and indicate that it can not be null
