For compatability -with the previous form of this file, if the key part is just a -double-quoted string the colon may be left out. -<P> - -An index is an IP address, or a Fully Qualified Domain Name, <A HREF="mailto:user@FQDN">user@FQDN</A>, -<B>%any</B> or <B>%any6</B> (other kinds may come). An IP address may be written -in the familiar dotted quad form or as a domain name to be looked up -when the file is loaded -(or in any of the forms supported by the FreeS/WAN <I><A HREF="ipsec_ttoaddr.3.html">ipsec_ttoaddr</A></I>(3) -routine). In many cases it is a bad idea to use domain names because -the name server may not be running or may be insecure. To denote a -Fully Qualified Domain Name (as opposed to an IP address denoted by -its domain name), precede the name with an at sign (<B>@</B>). -<P> - -Matching IDs with indices is fairly straightforward: they have to be -equal. In the case of a ``Road Warrior'' connection, if an equal -match is not found for the Peer's ID, and it is in the form of an IP -address, an index of <B>%any</B> will match the peer's IP address if IPV4 -and <B>%any6</B> will match a the peer's IP address if IPV6. -Currently, the obsolete notation <B>0.0.0.0</B> may be used in place of -<B>%any</B>. -<P> - -An additional complexity -arises in the case of authentication by preshared secret: the -responder will need to look up the secret before the Peer's ID payload has -been decoded, so the ID used will be the IP address. -<P> - -To authenticate a connection between two hosts, the entry that most -specifically matches the host and peer IDs is used. An entry with no -index will match any host and peer. More specifically, an entry with one index will -match a host and peer if the index matches the host's ID (the peer isn't -considered). Still more specifically, an entry with multiple indices will match a host and -peer if the host ID and peer ID each match one of the indices. If the key -is for an asymmetric authentication technique (i.e. a public key -system such as RSA), an entry with multiple indices will match a host -and peer even if only the host ID matches an index (it is presumed that the -multiple indices are all identities of the host). -It is acceptable for two entries to be the best match as -long as they agree about the secret or private key. -<P> - -Authentication by preshared secret requires that both systems find the -identical secret (the secret is not actually transmitted by the IKE -protocol). If both the host and peer appear in the index list, the -same entry will be suitable for both systems so verbatim copying -between systems can be used. This naturally extends to larger groups -sharing the same secret. Thus multiple-index entries are best for PSK -authentication. -<P> - -Authentication by RSA Signatures requires that each host have its own private -key. A host could reasonably use a different private keys -for different interfaces and for different peers. But it would not -be normal to share entries between systems. Thus thus no-index and -one-index forms of entry often make sense for RSA Signature authentication. -<P> - -The key part of an entry may start with a token indicating the kind of -key. ``RSA'' signifies RSA private key and ``PSK'' signifies -PreShared Key (case is ignored). For compatability with previous -forms of this file, PSK is the default. -<P> - -A preshared secret is most conveniently represented as a sequence of -characters, delimited by the double-quote -character (<B>"</B>). The sequence cannot contain a newline or -double-quote. Strictly speaking, the secret is actually the sequence -of bytes that is used in the file to represent the sequence of -characters (excluding the delimiters). -A preshared secret may also be represented, without quotes, in any form supported by -<I><A HREF="ipsec_ttodata.3.html">ipsec_ttodata</A></I>(3). -<P> - -An RSA private key is a composite of eight generally large numbers. The notation -used is a brace-enclosed list of field name and value pairs (see the example above). -A suitable key, in a suitable format, may be generated by <I><A HREF="ipsec_rsasigkey.8.html">ipsec_rsasigkey</A></I>(8). -The structure is very similar to that used by BIND 8.2.2 or later, but note that -the numbers must have a ``0s'' prefix if they are in base 64. The order of -the fields is fixed. -<P> - -The first token an entry must start in -the first column of its line. Subsequent tokens must be -separated by whitespace, -except for a colon token, which only needs to be followed by whitespace. -A newline is taken as whitespace, but every -line of an entry after the first must be indented. -<P> - -Whitespace at the end of a line is ignored (except in the 0t -notation for a key). At the start of line or -after whitespace, <B>#</B> and the following text up to the end of the -line is treated as a comment. Within entries, all lines must be -indented (except for lines with no tokens). -Outside entries, no line may be indented (this is to make sure that -the file layout reflects its structure). -<P> - -An include directive causes the contents of the named file to be processed -before continuing with the current file. The filename is subject to -``globbing'' as in <I><A HREF="sh.1.html">sh</A></I>(1), so every file with a matching name -is processed. Includes may be nested to a modest -depth (10, currently). If the filename doesn't start with a <B>/</B>, the -directory containing the current file is prepended to the name. The -include directive is a line that starts with the word <B>include</B>, -followed by whitespace, followed by the filename (which must not contain -whitespace). -<A NAME="lbAD"> </A> -<H2>FILES</H2> - -/etc/ipsec.secrets -<A NAME="lbAE"> </A> -<H2>SEE ALSO</H2> - -The rest of the FreeS/WAN distribution, in particular -<I><A HREF="ipsec.conf.5.html">ipsec.conf</A></I>(5), -<I><A HREF="ipsec.8.html">ipsec</A></I>(8), -<I><A HREF="ipsec_newhostkey.8.html">ipsec_newhostkey</A></I>(8), -<I><A HREF="ipsec_rsasigkey.8.html">ipsec_rsasigkey</A></I>(8), -<I><A HREF="ipsec_showhostkey.8.html">ipsec_showhostkey</A></I>(8), -<I><A HREF="ipsec_auto.8.html">ipsec_auto</A></I>(8) <B>--rereadsecrets</B>, -and <I><A HREF="ipsec_pluto.8.html">ipsec_pluto</A></I>(8) <B>--listen</B>,. -<BR> - -BIND 8.2.2 or later, <A HREF="ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/">ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/</A> -<A NAME="lbAF"> </A> -<H2>HISTORY</H2> - -Designed for the FreeS/WAN project -<<A HREF="http://www.freeswan.org">http://www.freeswan.org</A>> -by D.
