iPhone native VPN client to Cisco ASA (not via anyConnect)

VPN
1

Hello,

As per the title, is it possible to create a VPN profile on the native iPhone client and have it to connect to the ASA via IKEv2/IPSEC? I have been trying all day but the ASA sees it as an attempt of L2L, I suspect that the only way is to use the AnyConnect client, but at the moment we dont have a license to test it and I was asked to see if it is possible to connect to the ASA using built-in iOS VPN client instead, without purchasing the license. I hope this makes sense.

which ASA you got? what’s running software version?

Is IPsec enabled for remote access connections? I often turn it off. If it is off it isn’t going to work period.

So post your current remote access VPN configs (sanitized of course).

Yes, IPSec is enabled for Remote Access, I will see if I can get the sanitized config ready. Thank you. I appreciate is nearly impossible to work this out without seeing the config.
