Hi Team Libreswan	I have a Libreswan 4.3 (netkey) running on
CentOS 8 which has a roadwarrior setup with the following
configuration.  All through I followed this guide 
https://libreswan.org/wiki/VPN_server_for_remote_clients_using_IKEv2 Wi
th a Linux client, the setup works flawlessly, but I am unable to
replicate the same on a Mac client. I tried following the same step by
creating a certificate for the Mac client, but the Mac client throws up
a lot of errors. I want to know if there's any standard procedure to
follow while connecting from a Mac client...?  
On a Linux, the same procedure works perfectly fine 
On VPN Server
conn
COMET        left=1.2.3.4        leftsubnet=192.168.1.0/24        leftc
ert=sun.abc.com        leftid=@sun.abc.com        leftrsasigkey=%cert  
      leftsendcert=always        right=%any        rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/
0        rightca=%same        rightrsasigkey=%cert	rightid=%fromce
rt        auto=add        dpddelay=60        dpdtimeout=300        dpda
ction=clear        ikev2=insist        fragmentation=yes        type=tu
nnel



On Linux Client
conn SUN	left=%defaultroute	leftcert=comet.abc.com
