NAME
     iked -- Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) daemon

SYNOPSIS
     iked [-dnSTtVv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-p udpencap_port] [-s socket]

DESCRIPTION
     iked  is  an Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) daemon which performs mutual au-
     thentication and which establishes and maintains IPsec flows  and	security
     associations (SAs) between the two peers.

     The  IKEv2  protocol is defined in RFC 7296, which combines and updates the
     previous standards: ISAKMP/Oakley (RFC 2408), IKE (RFC 2409), and	the  In-
     ternet  DOI (RFC 2407).  iked only supports the IKEv2 protocol; support for
     ISAKMP/Oakley and IKEv1 is provided by isakmpd(8).

     iked supports mutual authentication using RSA  or	ECDSA  public  keys  and
     X.509  certificates.  See the "PUBLIC KEY AUTHENTICATION" section below and
     PKI AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY COMMANDS in ikectl(8)  for  more  information
     about creating and maintaining the public key infrastructure.

     The options are as follows:

     -D macro=value
	     Define macro to be set to value on the command line.  Overrides the
	     definition of macro in the configuration file.

     -d      Do not daemonize and log to stderr.

     -f file
	     Use  file	as  the  configuration	file,  instead	of  the  default
	     /etc/iked.conf.

     -n      Configtest mode.  Only check the configuration file for validity.

     -p udpencap_port
	     Specify the listen port for encapsulated UDP that the  daemon  will
	     bind  to  as  well  as  the UDP encapsulation port set in resulting
	     IPsec SAs.  In order to receive UDP encapsulated IPsec  packets  on
	     ports  other  than  4500,	the net.inet.esp.udpencap_port sysctl(2)
	     variable has to be set accordingly.  Implies -t.

     -S      Start iked  in  passive  mode.   See  the	set  passive  option  in
	     iked.conf(5) for more information.

     -s socket
	     Use   socket   as	the  control  socket,  instead	of  the  default
	     /var/run/iked.sock.

     -T      Disable NAT-Traversal and do not propose NAT-Traversal  support  to
	     the peers.

     -t      Enforce  NAT-Traversal  and  only listen to NAT-Traversal messages.
	     This option is only recommended for testing; the default is to  ne-
	     gotiate NAT-Traversal with the peers.

     -V      Show the version and exit.

     -v      Produce more verbose output.

PUBLIC KEY AUTHENTICATION
     It is possible to store trusted public keys to make them directly usable by
     iked,  bypassing the need to use certificates.  The keys should be saved in
     PEM format (see openssl(1)) and named and stored as follows:

	For IPv4 identities:	/etc/iked/pubkeys/ipv4/A.B.C.D
	For IPv6 identities:	/etc/iked/pubkeys/ipv6/abcd:abcd::ab:bc
	For FQDN identities:	/etc/iked/pubkeys/fqdn/foo.bar.org
	For UFQDN identities:	/etc/iked/pubkeys/ufqdn/user@foo.bar.org

     Depending on the srcid and dstid specifications in iked.conf(5),  keys  may
     be  named	after  their  IPv4 address, IPv6 address, fully qualified domain
     name (FQDN) or user fully qualified domain name (UFQDN).

     For example, iked can authenticate using the pre-generated keys if the  lo-
     cal  public  key,	by  default /etc/iked/local.pub, is copied to the remote
     gateway as /etc/iked/pubkeys/ipv4/local.gateway.ip.address and  the  remote
     gateway's	  public    key    is	copied	 to   the   local   gateway   as
     /etc/iked/pubkeys/ipv4/remote.gateway.ip.address.	Of course, new keys  may
     also be generated (the user is not required to use the pre-generated keys).
     In this example, srcid and dstid would also have to be set to the specified
     addresses in iked.conf(5).

FILES
     /etc/iked.conf	    The default iked configuration file.
     /etc/iked/ca/	    The directory where CA certificates are kept.
     /etc/iked/certs/	    The  directory where IKE certificates are kept, both
			    the local certificate(s) and those of the peers,  if
			    a  choice  to  have  them  kept permanently has been
			    made.
     /etc/iked/crls/	    The directory where CRLs are kept.
     /etc/iked/private/     The directory where local private keys used for pub-
			    lic key authentication are kept.  The file local.key
			    is used to store the local private key.
     /etc/iked/pubkeys/     The directory in which trusted public keys are kept.
			    The keys must be  named  in  the  fashion  described
			    above.
     /var/run/iked.sock     The default iked control socket.
