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
