Folks interested in the iOS VPN plug-in mechanism should read this DevForums thread.

There are no APIs to do this directly. The best you can do is:
1. convert your XML file into a configuration profile
2. host the profile somewhere
3. -openURL: that URL
That'll kick off the system's 'import this profile' user interface.

There are no APIs for this on iOS. For VPN on Demand you can bring up the VPN interface by opening a connection to a host on the other side of that interface, but that's all you can do.
If you'd like to see better support for this added in the future, I encourage you to file a bug describing your requirements. While we may have seen similar requests many times before, a fresh bug report will allow you to express your needs in your own terms, and allow iOS engineering to gauge the level of demand.
