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.
