strongSwan works using the PKCS#11 driver. Basically follow these steps:

1. Generați o cheie pe Nitrokey prin intermediul pkcs11-tool. În acest exemplu, este o cheie RSA de 4096 biți.

   $ pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so -l -k --key-type rsa:4096 --id 10 --label 'Staging Access'
   

2. Generarea unei cereri de semnare a unui certificat prin intermediul modulului openssl + pkcs11

   $ openssl
   OpenSSL> engine dynamic -pre SO_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/engines-1.1/pkcs11.so -pre ID:pkcs11 -pre LIST_ADD:1 -pre LOAD -pre MODULE_PATH:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
   OpenSSL> req -engine pkcs11 -sha256 -new -key id_10 -keyform engine -out user@email.com-staging-cert.csr -subj '/C=GB/L=Cambridge/O=Organization/OU=Staging Access/CN=user@email.com/emailAddress=user@email.com'
   

3. Semnați certificatul cu autoritatea dumneavoastră de certificare

4. Conversia certificatului în DER

   $ openssl x509 -in user@email.com-staging-cert.csr -out user@email.com-staging-cert.der -outform DER
   

5. Importați certificatul în Nitrokey prin intermediul pkcs11-tool

   $ pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so -l -y cert -w user@email.com-staging-cert.der --id 10 --label 'Staging Access'
   

6. Configure strongSwan to load OpenSC’s PKCS#11 module then to load the certificate on Nitrokey. Edit /etc/strongswan.d/charon/pkcs11.conf and add the following module:

   modules {
     Nitrokey {
       path = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so
     }
   }
   

7. Initiate the VPN connection via IPSec/strongSwan, then prompt for Nitrokey PIN

8. VPN-ul este acum conectat
