IPSEC(8) strongSwan IPSEC(8) NAME
ipsec - invoke IPsec utilities SYNOPSIS
ipsec command [ arguments ] [ options ] DESCRIPTION
The ipsec utility invokes any of several utilities involved in controlling and monitoring the IPsec encryption/authentication system, run- ning the specified command with the specified arguments and options as if it had been invoked directly. This largely eliminates possible name collisions with other software, and also permits some centralized services. All the commands described in this manual page are built-in and are used to control and monitor IPsec connections as well as the IKE dae- mons. For other commands ipsec supplies the invoked command with a suitable PATH environment variable, and also provides IPSEC_DIR, IPSEC_CONFS, and IPSEC_VERSION environment variables, containing respectively the full pathname of the directory where the IPsec utilities are stored, the full pathname of the directory where the configuration files live, and the IPsec version number. CONTROL COMMANDS ipsec start [ starter options ] calls ipsec starter which in turn parses ipsec.conf and starts the IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons. ipsec update sends a HUP signal to ipsec starter which in turn determines any changes in ipsec.conf and updates the configuration on the running IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons, correspondingly. ipsec reload sends a USR1 signal to ipsec starter which in turn reloads the whole configuration on the running IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon dae- mons based on the actual ipsec.conf. ipsec restart is equivalent to ipsec stop followed by ipsec start after a guard of 2 seconds. ipsec stop terminates all IPsec connections and stops the IKEv1 pluto and IKEv2 charon daemons by sending a TERM signal to ipsec starter. ipsec up name tells the responsible IKE daemon to start up connection name. ipsec down name tells the responsible IKE daemon to terminate connection name. ipsec down name{n} terminates IKEv2 CHILD SA instance n of connection name. ipsec down name{*} terminates all IKEv2 CHILD SA instances of connection name. ipsec down name[n] terminates all IKEv2 IKE SA instance n of connection name. ipsec down name[*] terminates all IKEv2 IKE SA instances of connection name. ipsec route name tells the responsible IKE daemon to insert an IPsec policy in the kernel for connection name. The first payload packet matching the IPsec policy will automatically trigger an IKE connection setup. ipsec unroute name remove the IPsec policy in the kernel for connection name. ipsec status [ name ] returns concise status information either on connection name or if the argument is lacking, on all connections. ipsec statusall [ name ] returns detailed status information either on connection name or if the argument is lacking, on all connections. LIST COMMANDS ipsec listalgs returns a list all supported IKE encryption and hash algorithms, the available Diffie-Hellman groups, as well as all supported ESP encryption and authentication algorithms registered via the Linux kernel's Crypto API. Supported by the IKEv1 pluto daemon only. ipsec listpubkeys [ --utc ] returns a list of RSA public keys that were either loaded in raw key format or extracted from X.509 and|or OpenPGP certificates. Supported by the IKEv1 pluto daemon only. ipsec listcerts [ --utc ] returns a list of X.509 and|or OpenPGP certificates that were either loaded locally by the IKE daemon or received via the IKEv2 pro- tocol. ipsec listcacerts [ --utc ] returns a list of X.509 Certification Authority (CA) certificates that were loaded locally by the IKE daemon from the /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/ directory or received in PKCS#7-wrapped certificate payloads via the IKE protocol. ipsec listaacerts [ --utc ] returns a list of X.509 Authorization Authority (AA) certificates that were loaded locally by the IKE daemon from the /etc/ipsec.d/aacerts/ directory. ipsec listocspcerts [ --utc ] returns a list of X.509 OCSP Signer certificates that were either loaded locally by the IKE daemon from the /etc/ipsec.d/ocspcerts/ directory or were sent by an OCSP server. ipsec listacerts [ --utc ] returns a list of X.509 Attribute certificates that were loaded locally by the IKE daemon from the /etc/ipsec.d/acerts/ directory. ipsec listgroups [ --utc ] returns a list of groups that are used to define user authorization profiles. Supported by the IKEv1 pluto daemon only. ipsec listcainfos [ --utc ] returns certification authority information (CRL distribution points, OCSP URIs, LDAP servers) that were defined by ca sections in ipsec.conf. ipsec listcrls [ --utc ] returns a list of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) that were either loaded by the IKE daemon from the /etc/ipsec.d/crls directory or fetched from an HTTP- or LDAP-based CRL distribution point. ipsec listocsp [ --utc ] returns revocation information fetched from OCSP servers. ipsec listcards [ --utc ] list all certificates found on attached smart cards. Supported by the IKEv1 pluto daemon only. ipsec listall [ --utc ] returns all information generated by the list commands above. Each list command can be called with the --utc option which displays all dates in UTC instead of local time. REREAD COMMANDS ipsec rereadsecrets flushes and rereads all secrets defined in ipsec.secrets. ipsec rereadcacerts reads all certificate files contained in the /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts directory and adds them to the list of Certification Authority (CA) certificates. ipsec rereadaacerts reads all certificate files contained in the /etc/ipsec.d/aacerts directory and adds them to the list of Authorization Authority (AA) certificates. ipsec rereadocspcerts reads all certificate files contained in the /etc/ipsec.d/ocspcerts/ directory and adds them to the list of OCSP signer certifi- cates. ipsec rereadacerts reads all certificate files contained in the /etc/ipsec.d/acerts/ directory and adds them to the list of attribute certificates. ipsec rereadcrls reads all Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) contained in the /etc/ipsec.d/crls/ directory and adds them to the list of CRLs. ipsec rereadall executes all reread commands listed above. PURGE COMMANDS ipsec purgeike purges IKEv2 SAs that don't have a CHILD SA. ipsec purgeocsp purges all cached OCSP information records. INFO COMMANDS ipsec --help returns the usage information for the ipsec command. ipsec --version returns the version in the form of Linux strongSwan U<strongSwan userland version>/K<Linux kernel version> if strongSwan uses the native NETKEY IPsec stack of the Linux kernel it is running on. ipsec --versioncode returns the version number in the form of U<strongSwan userland version>/K<Linux kernel version> if strongSwan uses the native NETKEY IPsec stack of the Linux kernel it is running on. ipsec --copyright returns the copyright information. ipsec --directory returns the LIBEXECDIR directory as defined by the configure options. ipsec --confdir returns the SYSCONFDIR directory as defined by the configure options. FILES
