NAME
       ipseckey - Generate IPSECKEY records on libreswan IPsec servers


SYNTAX
       ipseckey


DESCRIPTION
       ipseckey generates RFC-4025 IPSECKEY DNS records based on the public key of the IPsec server. Supported
       IPsec software is libreswan and some versions of openswan (depending on its implementation of
       showhostkey). The record is displayed will have the label of the hostname. This can be manually changed.

       (TODO: allow specifying --hostname and allow --reverse for creating in-addr.arpa. entries)


OPTIONS
       -h / --help
           Output help information and exit.

       -v / --version
           Output version information and exit.


FILES
       The NSS IPsec database in /etc/ipsec.d/*.db or for older openswan without NSS /etc/ipsec.secrets


REQUIREMENTS
       ipseckey MUST be run on the IPsec gateway itself because unlike TLS, IPsec servers do not present their
       public RSA key any client. Currently, only libreswan IPsec is supported (https://libreswan.org) although
       some versions of openswan might work as well. Root access is needed because the public key is pulled from
       /etc/ipsec.secrets which can contain secrets and is therefor only readable by root (even though with
       libreswan, ipsec.secrets does not contain the any private RSA keys)


BUGS
       Some other IPsec software is not yet supported


SEE ALSO
       ipsec_showhostkey(8) and RFC-4025
