+Template: strongswan/start_level
+Type: select
+_Choices: earliest, "after NFS", "after PCMCIA"
+Default: earliest
+_Description: When to start strongSwan:
+ There are three possibilities when strongSwan can start: before or
+ after the NFS services and after the PCMCIA services. The correct answer
+ depends on your specific setup.
+ .
+ If you do not have your /usr tree mounted via NFS (either you only mount
+ other, less vital trees via NFS or don't use NFS mounted trees at all) and
+ don't use a PCMCIA network card, then it's best to start strongSwan at
+ the earliest possible time, thus allowing the NFS mounts to be secured by
+ IPSec. In this case (or if you don't understand or care about this
+ issue), answer "earliest" to this question (the default).
+ .
+ If you have your /usr tree mounted via NFS and don't use a PCMCIA network
+ card, then you will need to start strongSwan after NFS so that all
+ necessary files are available. In this case, answer "after NFS" to this
+ question. Please note that the NFS mount of /usr can not be secured by
+ IPSec in this case.
+ .
+ If you use a PCMCIA network card for your IPSec connections, then you only
+ have to choose to start it after the PCMCIA services. Answer "after
+ PCMCIA" in this case. This is also the correct answer if you want to fetch
+ keys from a locally running DNS server with DNSSec support.
+
+Template: strongswan/restart
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Do you wish to restart strongSwan?
+ Restarting strongSwan is a good idea, since if there is a security fix, it
+ will not be fixed until the daemon restarts. Most people expect the daemon
+ to restart, so this is generally a good idea. However this might take down
+ existing connections and then bring them back up.
+
+Template: strongswan/ikev1
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Do you wish to support IKEv1?
+ strongSwan supports both versions of the Internet Key Exchange protocol,
+ IKEv1 and IKEv2. Do you want to start the "pluto" daemon for IKEv1 support
+ when strongSwan is started?
+
+Template: strongswan/ikev2
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Do you wish to support IKEv2?
+ strongSwan supports both versions of the Internet Key Exchange protocol,
+ IKEv1 and IKEv2. Do you want to start the "charon" daemon for IKEv2 support
+ when strongSwan is started?
+
+Template: strongswan/create_rsa_key
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Do you want to create a RSA public/private keypair for this host?
+ This installer can automatically create a RSA public/private keypair for
+ this host. This keypair can be used to authenticate IPSec connections to
+ other hosts and is the preferred way for building up secure IPSec
+ connections. The other possibility would be to use shared secrets
+ (passwords that are the same on both sides of the tunnel) for
+ authenticating an connection, but for a larger number of connections RSA
+ authentication is easier to administer and more secure.
+ .
+ If you do not want to create a new public/private keypair, you can choose to
+ use an existing one.
+
+Template: strongswan/rsa_key_type
+Type: select
+_Choices: x509, plain
+Default: x509
+_Description: The type of RSA keypair to create:
+ It is possible to create a plain RSA public/private keypair for use
+ with strongSwan or to create a X509 certificate file which contains the RSA
+ public key and additionally stores the corresponding private key.
+ .
+ If you only want to build up IPSec connections to hosts also running
+ strongSwan, it might be a bit easier using plain RSA keypairs. But if you
+ want to connect to other IPSec implementations, you will need a X509
+ certificate. It is also possible to create a X509 certificate here and
+ extract the RSA public key in plain format if the other side runs
+ strongSwan without X509 certificate support.
+ .
+ Therefore a X509 certificate is recommended since it is more flexible and
+ this installer should be able to hide the complex creation of the X509
+ certificate and its use in strongSwan anyway.
+
+Template: strongswan/existing_x509_certificate
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Do you have an existing X509 certificate file for strongSwan?
+ This installer can automatically extract the needed information from an
+ existing X509 certificate with a matching RSA private key. Both parts can
+ be in one file, if it is in PEM format. If you have such an existing
+ certificate and key file and want to use it for authenticating IPSec
+ connections, then please answer yes.
+
+Template: strongswan/existing_x509_certificate_filename
+Type: string
+_Description: File name of your X509 certificate in PEM format:
+ Please enter the full location of the file containing your X509
+ certificate in PEM format.
+
+Template: strongswan/existing_x509_key_filename
+Type: string
+_Description: File name of your X509 private key in PEM format:
+ Please enter the full location of the file containing the private RSA key
+ matching your X509 certificate in PEM format. This can be the same file
+ that contains the X509 certificate.
+
+Template: strongswan/rsa_key_length
+Type: string
+Default: 2048
+_Description: The length of the created RSA key (in bits):
+ Please enter the length of the created RSA key. It should not be less than
+ 1024 bits because this should be considered unsecure and you will probably
+ not need anything more than 2048 bits because it only slows the
+ authentication process down and is not needed at the moment.
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_self_signed
+Type: boolean
+Default: true
+_Description: Do you want to create a self-signed X509 certificate?
+ This installer can only create self-signed X509 certificates
+ automatically, because otherwise a certificate authority is needed to sign
+ the certificate request. If you want to create a self-signed certificate,
+ you can use it immediately to connect to other IPSec hosts that support
+ X509 certificate for authentication of IPSec connections. However, if you
+ want to use the new PKI features of strongSwan >= 1.91, you will need to
+ have all X509 certificates signed by a single certificate authority to
+ create a trust path.
+ .
+ If you do not want to create a self-signed certificate, then this
+ installer will only create the RSA private key and the certificate request
+ and you will have to get the certificate request signed by your certificate
+ authority.
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_country_code
+Type: string
+Default: AT
+_Description: Country code for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the 2 letter country code for your country. This code will be
+ placed in the certificate request.
+ .
+ You really need to enter a valid country code here, because openssl will
+ refuse to generate certificates without one. An empty field is allowed for
+ any other field of the X.509 certificate, but not for this one.
+ .
+ Example: AT
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_state_name
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: State or province name for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the full name of the state or province you live in. This name
+ will be placed in the certificate request.
+ .
+ Example: Upper Austria
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_locality_name
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Locality name for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the locality (e.g. city) where you live. This name will be
+ placed in the certificate request.
+ .
+ Example: Vienna
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_organization_name
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Organization name for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the organization (e.g. company) that the X509 certificate
+ should be created for. This name will be placed in the certificate
+ request.
+ .
+ Example: Debian
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_organizational_unit
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Organizational unit for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the organizational unit (e.g. section) that the X509
+ certificate should be created for. This name will be placed in the
+ certificate request.
+ .
+ Example: security group
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_common_name
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Common name for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the common name (e.g. the host name of this machine) for
+ which the X509 certificate should be created for. This name will be placed
+ in the certificate request.
+ .
+ Example: gateway.debian.org
+
+Template: strongswan/x509_email_address
+Type: string
+Default:
+_Description: Email address for the X509 certificate request:
+ Please enter the email address of the person or organization who is
+ responsible for the X509 certificate, This address will be placed in the
+ certificate request.
+
+Template: strongswan/enable-oe
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Do you wish to enable opportunistic encryption in strongSwan?
+ strongSwan comes with support for opportunistic encryption (OE), which stores
+ IPSec authentication information (i.e. RSA public keys) in (preferably
+ secure) DNS records. Until this is widely deployed, activating it will
+ cause a significant slow-down for every new, outgoing connection. Since
+ version 2.0, strongSwan upstream comes with OE enabled by default and is thus
+ likely to break your existing connection to the Internet (i.e. your default
+ route) as soon as pluto (the strongSwan keying daemon) is started.
+ .
+ Please choose whether you want to enable support for OE. If unsure, do not
+ enable it.
