.Sh NAME
.Nm ipsec.conf
.Nd IPsec configuration file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
file specifies rules and definitions for
.Xr ipsec 4
IP security services.
The rulesets themselves can be loaded, viewed, and modified via the
.Xr ipsecctl 8
userland utility.
.Sh MACROS
Much like
.Xr cpp 1
or
.Xr m4 1 ,
macros can be defined that will later be expanded in context.
Macro names must start with a letter, and may contain letters, digits
and underscores.
Macro names may not be reserved words (for example
.Ar flow ,
.Ar from ,
.Ar esp ) .
Macros are not expanded inside quotes.
.Pp
For example,
.Bd -literal -offset indent
remote_gw = \&"192.168.3.12\&"
flow esp from 192.168.7.0/24 to 192.168.8.0/24 peer $remote_gw
.Ed
.Sh FLOWS
IPsec uses
.Em flows
to determine whether to apply security services to an IP packet or not.
The following security services are available:
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Ic flow esp
ESP can provide the following properties:
authentication, integrity, replay protection, and confidentiality of the data.
.It Ic flow ah
AH provides authentication, integrity, and replay protection, but no
confidentiality.
.It Ic flow ipip
IPIP provides neither authentication, integrity, replay protection, nor
confidentiality.
However, it allows you to tunnel IP traffic over IP, without setting up
.Xr gif 4
interfaces.
.El
.Pp
For details on ESP and AH see
.Xr ipsec 4 .
When no service is specified,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will use ESP.
The settings for the security services have to be negotiated by
.Xr isakmpd 8 .
As soon as a packet matches a flow,
.Xr isakmpd 8
automatically starts the negotiation.
See
.Xr isakmpd 8
for details.
.Pp
Parameters specify the packets to which a flow applies.
Some parameters are optional.
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Ar in No or Ar out
This rule applies to incoming or outgoing packets.
If neither
.Ar in
nor
.Ar out
are specified,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will assume the direction
.Ar out
for this rule and will construct a proper
.Ar in
rule.
Thus packets in both directions will be matched.
.It Ar proto Aq Ar protocol
The optional
.Ar proto
parameter restricts the flow to a specific IP protocol.
Common protocols are
.Xr icmp 4 ,
.Xr tcp 4 ,
and
.Xr udp 4 .
For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by
.Xr ipsecctl 8 ,
see the file
.Pa /etc/protocols .
.It Xo
.Ar from
.Aq Ar src
.Ar to
.Aq Ar dst
.Ar local
.Aq Ar localip
.Ar peer
.Aq Ar remote
.Xc
This rule applies for packets with source address
.Aq Ar src
and destination address
.Aq Ar dst .
All addresses are specified either in CIDR notation or as FQDN.
The keyword
.Ar any
will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0).
The
.Ar local
parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the local endpoint of this
flow and can be usually left out.
The
.Ar peer
parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the remote endpoint of this
flow.
For host-to-host connections where
.Aq Ar dst
is identical to
.Aq Ar remote ,
the
.Ar peer
specification can be left out.
.It Ar type Aq Ar modifier
This optional parameter sets up special flows using the modifiers
.Ar bypass
or
.Ar deny .
A bypass flow is used to specify a flow for which security processing
will be bypassed: matching packets will not be processed by any other
flows and handled in normal operation.
A deny flow is used to drop any matching packets.
By default,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will automatically set up normal flows with the corresponding type.
.El
.Sh IPSEC SAs
The security parameters for a
.Ar flow
are stored in the Security Association Database
(SADB).
The following rules enter SAs in the SADB:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
.It Ic esp
Enter an ESP SA.
.It Ic ah
Enter an AH SA.
.It Ic ipcomp
Enter an IPCOMP SA.
.It Ic ipip
Enter an IPIP pseudo SA.
.El
.Pp
Parameters specify the peers, Security Parameter Index (SPI),
cryptographic transforms, and key material to be used.
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Xo
.Aq Ar mode
.Xc
For
.Ar esp ,
.Ar ah
and
.Ar ipcomp
the encapsulation mode to be used can be specified.
Possible modes are
.Ar tunnel
and
.Ar transport .
When left out,
.Ar tunnel
is chosen.
For details on modes see
.Xr ipsec 4 .
.It Xo
.Ar from
.Aq Ar src
.Ar to
.Aq Ar dst
.Xc
This SA is for a
.Ar flow
between the peers
.Aq Ar src
and
.Aq Ar dst .
.It Xo
.Ar spi
.Aq Ar number
.Xc
The SPI identifies a specific SA.
.Ar number
is a 32-bit value and needs to be unique.
.It Xo
.Ar auth
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Xc
For both
.Ar esp
and
.Ar ah
an authentication algorithm can be specified.
Possible algorithms are
.Ar hmac-md5 ,
.Ar hmac-ripemd160 ,
.Ar hmac-sha1 ,
.Ar hmac-sha2-256 ,
.Ar hmac-sha2-384 ,
and
.Ar hmac-sha2-512 .
.Pp
If no algorithm is specified,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will choose
.Ar hmac-sha2-256
by default.
.It Xo
.Ar comp
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Xc
The compression algorithm to be used.
Possible algorithms are
.Ar deflate
and
.Ar lzs .
Note that
.Ar lzs
is only available with
.Xr hifn 4
because of the patent held by Hifn, Inc.
.It Xo
.Ar enc
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Xc
For
.Ar esp
an encryption algorithm needs to be specified.
Possible algorithms are
.Ar 3des-cbc ,
.Ar des-cbc ,
.Ar aes ,
.Ar aesctr ,
.Ar blowfish ,
.Ar cast128 ,
.Ar null ,
and
.Ar skipjack .
.Pp
If no algorithm is specified,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will choose
.Ar aesctr
by default.
.It Xo
.Ar authkey
.Aq Ar keyspec
.Xc
.Ar keyspec
defines the authentication key to be used.
It is either a hexadecimal string or a path to a file containing the key.
The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file
or a relative pathname,
and is specified as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset -indent
authkey file "filename"
.Ed
.It Xo
.Ar enckey
.Aq Ar keyspec
.Xc
The encryption key is defined similar to
.Ar authkey .
.El
.Pp
It is very important that keys are not guessable.
One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is a follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"'
.Ed
.Pp
For
.Ar spi ,
.Ar authkey ,
and
.Ar enckey ,
it is possible to specify two colon separated values.
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for
.Ar spi ,
.Ar authkey ,
and
.Ar enckey .
.Sh AUTOMATIC KEYING USING ISAKMP/IKE
Rules can also specify IPsec flows and SAs to be established automatically by
.Xr isakmpd 8 .
This is accomplished by the following rule:
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Ic ike esp
Creates an IPsec tunnel using ESP.
.El
.Pp
Note that AH and transport mode are not yet supported.
See
.Xr isakmpd 8
for details on ISAKMP/IKE.
.Pp
Parameters specify the packets that will go through the tunnel and which
cryptographic transforms are used for
.Xr isakmpd 8 .
Some parameters are optional.
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Xo
.Ar ike
.Aq Ar mode
.Ar esp
.Xc
When
.Ar passive
is specified,
.Xr isakmpd 8
will not immediately start negotiation of this tunnel, but wait for an incoming
request from the remote peer.
When
.Ar active
or
.Ar dynamic
is specified, negotiation will be started at once.
The
.Ar dynamic
mode will additionally enable Dead Peer Detection (DPD) and use the
local hostname as the identity of the local peer, if not specifed by
the
.Ar srcid
parameter.
.Ar dynamic
mode should be used for hosts with dynamic IP addresses like road
warriors or dialup hosts.
If omitted,
.Ar active
mode will be used.
.It Ar proto Aq Ar protocol
The optional
.Ar proto
parameter restricts the flow to a specific IP protocol.
Common protocols are
.Xr icmp 4 ,
.Xr tcp 4 ,
and
.Xr udp 4 .
For a list of all the protocol name to number mappings used by
.Xr ipsecctl 8 ,
see the file
.Pa /etc/protocols .
.It Xo
.Ar from
.Aq Ar src
.Ar to
.Aq Ar dst
.Ar local
.Aq Ar localip
.Ar peer
.Aq Ar remote
.Xc
This rule applies for packets with source address
.Aq Ar src
and destination address
.Aq Ar dst .
All addresses are specified either in CIDR notation or as FQDN.
The keyword
.Ar any
will match any address (i.e. 0.0.0.0/0).
The
.Ar local
parameter specifies the local address to be used, if we are multi-homed
or have aliases.
Usually this parameter can be left out.
The
.Ar peer
parameter specifies the address or FQDN of the remote endpoint of this
particular flow.
For host-to-host connections where
.Aq Ar dst
is identical to
.Aq Ar remote ,
the
.Ar peer
specification can be left out.
.It Xo
.Ar main auth
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Ar enc
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Xc
These paramters define the cryptographic transforms to be used for main mode.
Possible values for
.Aq Ar auth
are
.Ar hmac-sha1
and
.Ar hmac-md5 .
For
.Aq Ar enc
the values
.Ar des ,
.Ar 3des ,
.Ar aes ,
.Ar blowfish
and
.Ar cast
are allowed.
If omitted,
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will use the default values
.Ar hmac-sha1
and
.Ar aes .
.It Xo
.Ar quick auth
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Ar enc
.Aq Ar algorithm
.Xc
Similar to
.Ar main ,
.Ar quick
defines the transforms to be used for quick mode.
However, the possible values for
.Aq Ar auth
are
.Ar hmac-md5 ,
.Ar hmac-sha1 ,
.Ar hmac-ripemd160 ,
.Ar hmac-sha2-256 ,
.Ar hmac-sha2-384
and
.Ar hmac-sha2-512 .
For
.Ar enc
valid values are again
.Ar des ,
.Ar 3des ,
.Ar aes ,
.Ar blowfish
and
.Ar cast .
If no quick mode transforms are specified,
the default values
.Ar hmac-sha2-256
and
.Ar aes
are chosen.
.It Xo
.Ar srcid
.Aq Ar fqdn
.Xc
This optional parameter defines a FQDN that will be used by
.Xr isakmpd 8
as the identity of the local peer.
.It Xo
.Ar dstid
.Aq Ar fqdn
.Xc
Similar to
.Ar srcid ,
this optional parameter defines a FQDN to be used by the remote peer.
.It Ar psk Aq Ar string
Use a pre-shared key
.Ar string
for authentication.
If not specified, RSA authentication will be used.
By default, the system startup script
.Xr rc 8
generates a key-pair for
.Xr isakmpd 8
when starting, if one does not already exist.
.El
.Pp

.Sh TCP MD5 SIGNATURES
RFC 2385 describes a mechanism to protect
.Xr tcp 4
sessions using MD5.
A Security Association (SA) for TCP MD5 signatures is set up using the
following rule:
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
.It Xo
.Ar tcpmd5
.Ar from
.Aq Ar src
.Ar to
.Aq Ar dst
.Ar spi
.Aq Ar number
.Ar authkey
.Aq Ar keyspec
.Xc
This rule applies for packets with source address
.Aq Ar src
and destination address
.Aq Ar dst .
All addresses are specified either in CIDR notation or as FQDN.
The parameter
.Ar spi
is a 32-bit value defining the Security Parameter Index (SPI) for this SA.
.Pp
The authentication key to be used is a hexadecimal string of arbitrary length
or a path to a file containing the key.
The filename may be given as either an absolute path to the file
or a relative pathname,
and is specified as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset -indent
authkey file "filename"
.Ed
.Pp
It is very important that the key is not guessable.
One practical way of generating 160-bit (20-byte) keys is as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
$ openssl rand 20 | hexdump -e '20/1 "%02x"'
.Ed
.Pp
For both
.Ar spi
and
.Ar authkey
it is possible to specify two values separated by a colon.
.Xr ipsecctl 8
will then generate the matching incoming SA using the second values for
.Ar spi
and
.Ar authkey .
.El
.Pp
For details on how to enable TCP MD5 signatures see
.Xr tcp 4 .
