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.
