An update on this. I generated the VPN.mobileconfig file on the Server, and then put it on a public website where I could download it onto my phone via Safari. (That’s a -strange way- to get it onto the phone, apparently you can load it via URL in Safari, you can send it to your phone via email and load the email attachment, or you can use the Apple server phone provisioning tools…) Once it was downloaded to the phone, I had to respond to some prompts and then it was installed. I had to change the VPN server name from <mymachine>.local to <mydomain>.com after this VPN configuration was visible in settings. Then it worked.
But it BTSOOM (Beats the … out of me) why what apparently is the -exact same set- of user-visible settings (server, account, password, shared secret) wouldn’t work when manually configured!!!
