The log output just ended here And when running ipsec status immediately after this I can see

Security Associations (0 up, 1 connecting):
      mobile[1]: CONNECTING, xxxx:9f80:xxxx:83::xxxx:f633[CN=www.xxxx.de]...xxx:6020:xxx:8000:xxxx:a7ae:xxxx:9a42[xxx:6020:xxx:8000:xxxx:a7ae:xxxx:9a42]

which result to below after some seconds

Security Associations (0 up, 0 connecting):
  none

This is my ipsec.conf

config setup
    charondebug="ike 1, knl 1, cfg 1"
    uniqueids=no

conn %default
    ikelifetime=60m
    keylife=20m
    rekeymargin=3m
    keyingtries=1
    keyexchange=ikev2
    mobike=no # no matter if on or off

    #leftfirewall=yes
    
    right=%any

    #rightsourceip=10.0.3.2/24
    #rightdns=10.0.2.1
    rightsendcert=never
    eap_identity=xxxx

Any advice would be really helpful

    Do you have access to the server-side logs?

  • Try configuring eap_identity=%identity to actually request the EAP identity from the client.
