NAME

     ikec — Internet Key Exchange Connect

SYNOPSIS

     ikec [-r name] [-u username] [-p password] [-a]

DESCRIPTION

     The ikec command line application provides a simple interface for users to interact with
     iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ). This interface allows a user to control an IPsec VPN
     Client connection with a remote gateway. The parameters used for the connection are
     described in a Site Configuration file ( see below ).

     The options are as follows:

     -r name     Specify the Site Configuration name.

     -u username
                 Specify the Xauth username for the connection.

     -p password
                 Specify the Xauth password for the connection.

     -a          Automatically initiate the connection.

RETURN VALUES

     The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.

FILES

     All user related configuration data is stored under the ~/.iked directory. Site
     Configuration files are stored under the ~/.iked/sites directory. Certificates and keys are
     are typically stored under the ~/.iked/certs directory. These directories are automatically
     created when the ikec application is run for the first time by a user.
