sckmd(1M)		System Administration Commands		     sckmd(1M)

NAME
       sckmd - Sun cryptographic key management daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/sckmd

DESCRIPTION
       sckmd  is  a server process that resides on a high-end system domain to
       maintain the Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)	Security  Associations
       (SAs)  needed  to  secure communications between a Service Processor or
       System Controller (SC) and platform management software running	within
       a  domain. The cvcd(1M) and dcs(1M) daemons use these Security Associa‐
       tions. See ipsec(7P) for a description of Security Associations.

       The sckmd daemon receives SAs from the  Service	Processor  or  SC  and
       installs	 these	SAs in a domain's Security Association Database (SADB)
       using pf_key(7P).

       sckmd starts up at system boot time as an SMF service. The FMRI for the
       sckmd service is:

	 svc:/platform/sun4u/sckmd:default

       A domain supports only one running sckmd process at a time.

NOTES
       The  sckmd  service  is	used only on Sun Fire high-end systems and the
       SPARC Enterprise Server family. It provides a mechanism for  exchanging
       IPsec  keys  between a domain and its System Controller (SC) or Service
       Processor. These platforms  use	IPsec  to  secure  the	communications
       between	the SC or Service Processor and certain platform-specific dae‐
       mons in	the  domain.  Such  daemons  currently	include	 cvcd(1M)  and
       dcs(1M).

       The  documentation  for each platform that supports sckmd describes how
       to configure its use of IPsec for such communications. Also, the	 docu‐
       mentation  for each specific application describes how to configure its
       security policies and IPsec options in a	 manner	 appropriate  for  the
       target  platform. Refer to the platform- and application-specific docu‐
       mentation for detailed information.
