NAME

     qikec — Internet Key Exchange Connect

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

     The qikec Qt GUI 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. For more information about managing Site Configuration files,
     please see the ikea(1) man page. Please note, the ikec application is not typically started
     directly by a user but as a sub-process of the ikea(1) Qt GUI application.

     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.
