Is IPsec available for Solaris/x86?
Yes, for Solaris 8.
See volume 3 of the System Administrator's Guide at
http://docs.Sun.COM/
for more configuration information.
Solaris 8 IPSec supports AH (authentication) and ESP (encryption) headers,
and "shared secrets" (manual keying),
but not automatic (ISAKMP or IKE) keying.
Solaris 9 (not available for Intel, at least yet) supports IKE.
Adam Barclay adds these comments:
- The ESP portion is not installed by default. You have to download
supplemental encryption packages (SUNWcry, SUNWcryr, etc) from Sun
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/encryption/
- ipseckey is broken under Solaris 8 10/00 and at this point there doesn't
appear to be a patch. In the meantime, I use an earlier release.
- ndd queries may give misleading results if ipseckey hasn't been run.
As a reminder, some countries prohibit (e.g., France or Russia)
the use or possession of encryption software.
