The following commands are supported:

add

Add the specified object. This option can be used to add a new policy rule or a new preshared key to the current (running) in.iked configuration. When adding a new preshared key, the command cannot be invoked from the command line, as it will contain keying material. The rule or key being added is specified using appropriate id-value pairs as described in the ID FORMATS section.

del

Delete a specific object from in.iked's current configuration. This operation is available for IKE (Phase 1) SAs, policy rules, and preshared keys. The object to be deleted is specified as described in the ID FORMATS.

dump

Display all objects of the specified type known to in.iked. This option can be used to display all Phase 1 SAs, policy rules, or preshared keys. A large amount of output may be generated by this command.

flush

Remove all IKE (Phase 1) SAs from in.iked.

get

Lookup and display the specified object. May be used to view the current debug or privilege level, global statistics for the daemon, or a specific IKE (Phase 1) SA, policy rule, or preshared key. The latter three object types require that identifying information be passed in; the appropriate specification for each object type is described below.

help

Print a brief summary of commands, or, when followed by a command, prints information about that command.

read

Update the current in.iked configuration by reading the policy rules or preshared keys from either the default location or from the file specified.

set

Adjust the current debug or privilege level. If the debug level is being modified, an output file may optionally be specified; the output file must be specified if the daemon is running in the background and is not currently printing to a file. When changing the privilege level, adjustments may only be made to lower the access level; it cannot be increased using ikeadm.

write

Write the current in.iked policy rule set or preshared key set to the specified file. A destination file must be specified. This command should not be used to overwrite the existing configuration files.

debug

Specifies the daemon's debug level. This determines the amount and type of output provided by the daemon about its operations. The debug level is actually a bitmask, with individual bits enabling different types of information.

Description	Flag	Nickname
Certificate management	0x0001	cert
Key management	0x0002	key
Operational	0x0004	op
Phase 1 SA creation	0x0008	phase1
Phase 2 SA creation	0x0010	phase2
PF_KEY interface	0x0020	pfkey
Policy management	0x0040	policy
Proposal construction	0x0080	prop
Door interface	0x0100	door
Config file processing	0x0200	config
All debug flags	0x3ff	all

When specifying the debug level, either a number (decimal or hexadecimal) or a string of nicknames may be given. For example, 88, 0x58, and phase1+phase2+policy are all equivalent, and will turn on debug for phase 1 sa creation, phase 2 sa creation, and policy management. A string of nicknames may also be used to remove certain types of information; all-op has the effect of turning on all debug except for operational messages; it is equivalent to the numbers 1019 or 0x3fb.

priv

Specifies the daemon's access privilege level. The possible values are:

Description	Level	Nickname
Base level	0	base
Access to preshared key info	1	modkeys
Access to keying material	2	keymat

By default, in.iked is started at the base level. A command-line option can be used to start the daemon at a higher level. ikeadm can be used to lower the level, but it cannot be used to raise the level.

Either the numerical level or the nickname may be used to specify the target privilege level.

In order to get, add, delete, dump, read, or write preshared keys, the privilege level must at least give access to preshared key information. However, when viewing preshared keys (either using the get or dump command), the key itself will only be available if the privilege level gives access to keying material. This is also the case when viewing Phase 1 SAs.

stats

Global statistics from the daemon, covering both successful and failed Phase 1 SA creation.

Reported statistics include:

• Count of current P1 SAs which the local entity initiated
• Count of current P1 SAs where the local entity was the responder
• Count of all P1 SAs which the local entity initiated since boot
• Count of all P1 SAs where the local entity was the responder since boot
• Count of all attempted P1 SAs since boot, where the local entity was the initiator; includes failed attempts
• Count of all attempted P1 SAs since boot, where the local entity was the responder; includes failed attempts
• Count of all failed attempts to initiate a P1 SA, where the failure occurred because the peer did not respond
• Count of all failed attempts to initiate a P1 SA, where the peer responded
• Count of all failed P1 SAs where the peer was the initiator

p1

An IKE Phase 1 SA. A p1 object is identified by an IP address pair or a cookie pair; identification formats are described below.

rule

An IKE policy rule, defining the acceptable security characteristics for Phase 1 SAs between specified local and remote identities. A rule is identified by its label; identification formats are described below.

preshared

A preshared key, including the local and remote identification and applicable IKE mode. A preshared key is identified by an IP address pair or an identity pair; identification formats are described below.

Commands like add, del, and get require that additional information be specified on the command line. In the case of the delete and get commands, all that is required is to minimally identify a given object; for the add command, the full object must be specified.

Minimal identification is accomplished in most cases by a pair of values. For IP addresses, the local addr and then the remote addr are specified, either in dot-notation for IPv4 addresses, colon-separated hexadecimal format for IPv6 addresses, or a host name present in the host name database. If a host name is given that expands to more than one address, the requested operation will be performed multiple times, once for each possible combination of addresses.

Identity pairs are made up of a local type-value pair, followed by the remote type-value pair. Valid types are:

prefix

An address prefix.

fqdn

A fully-qualified domain name.

domain

Domain name, synonym for fqdn.

user_fqdn

User identity of the form user@fqdn.

mailbox

Synonym for user_fqdn.

A cookie pair is made up of the two cookies assigned to a Phase 1 Security Association (SA) when it is created; first is the initiator's, followed by the responder's. A cookie is a 64-bit number.

Finally, a label (which is used to identify a policy rule) is a character string assigned to the rule when it is created.

Formatting a rule or preshared key for the add command follows the format rules for the in.iked configuration files. Both are made up of a series of id-value pairs, contained in curly braces ({ and }). See ike.config(4) and ike.preshared(4) for details on the formatting of rules and preshared keys.

The following command empties out all Phase 1 Security Associations:

example# ikeadm flush p1s

The following command displays all Phase 1 Security Associations:

example# ikeadm dump p1s

The following command deletes the specified Phase 1 Security Associations:

example# ikeadm get p1 local_ip remote_ip

example# ikeadm add rule rule_file

The following command adds a preshared key:

example# ikeadm
     ikeadm> add preshared { localidtype ip localid local_ip
             remoteidtype ip remoteid remote_ip ike_mode main
             key 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef }

The following command saves all preshared keys to a file:

example# ikeadm write preshared target_file

The following command views a particular rule:

example# ikeadm get rule rule_label

The following command reads in new rules from the ike.config file:

example# ikeadm read rules

The following command lowers the privilege level:

example# ikeadm set priv base

The following command the current debug level

example# ikeadm get debug
