Information about the possibility of creating an IPsec tunnel from an Apple iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iMac) to a SRX device.

No; you cannot create an IPsec tunnel from Apple iOS to a SRX device due to the following reasons:

• Junos Pulse on Apple iOS doesn't support IPSec connection to SRX as per KB23960 - [SRX] Junos Pulse 3.0 installed on a Mac OS X system fails to connect to a SRX device with the dynamic VPN feature [juniper.net] .

• The Apple iOS native client cannot be used, as SRX supports only the tunnel mode. Apple iOS does not have the tunnel mode option, as it does not support a configurable IKE ID (lacks the capability to pass default identity information, such as [email protected] ). Apple iOS supports the use of a static IP address for IPsec negotiation. Static IP address assignment to VPN users is not feasible.
