IKED(8) OpenBSD System Manager's Manual IKED(8)NAMEiked - Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) daemon
SYNOPSISiked [-dnSTv] [-D macro=value] [-f file]
DESCRIPTIONiked is an Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) daemon which performs mutual
authentication and which establishes and maintains IPsec flows and
security associations (SAs) between the two peers.
The IKEv2 protocol is defined in RFC 5996, which combines and updates the
previous standards: ISAKMP/Oakley (RFC 2408), IKE (RFC 2409), and the
Internet DOI (RFC 2407). iked only supports the IKEv2 protocol; support
for ISAKMP/Oakley and IKEv1 is provided by isakmpd(8).
iked supports mutual authentication using RSA public keys and X.509
certificates. See the FILES section below and PKI AND CERTIFICATE
AUTHORITY COMMANDS in ikectl(8) for more information about creating and
maintaining the public key infrastructure.
The options are as follows:
-D macro=value
Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides
the definition of macro in the configuration file.
-d Do not daemonize and log to stderr.
-f file
Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default
/etc/iked.conf.
-n Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
-S Start iked in passive mode. See the set passive option in
iked.conf(5) for more information.
-T Disable NAT-Traversal and do not propose NAT-Traversal support to
the peers.
-v Produce more verbose output.
FILES
/etc/iked.conf The default iked configuration file.
/etc/iked/ca/ The directory where CA certificates are kept.
/etc/iked/certs/ The directory where IKE certificates are kept,
both the local certificate(s) and those of the
peers, if a choice to have them kept permanently
has been made.
/etc/iked/crls/ The directory where CRLs are kept.
/etc/iked/private/ The directory where local private keys used for
public key authentication are kept. The file
local.key is used to store the local private key.
/etc/iked/pubkeys/ The directory in which trusted public keys are
kept. The keys must be named in the fashion
described above.
/var/run/iked.sock The default iked control socket.
