1 This document is derived from the KAME racoon FAQ. Some answers do not
2 apply to ipsec-tools (they are obsolete or not up to date). They are
5 Q: With what other IKE/IPsec implementation racoon is known to be interoperable?
8 See "IMPLEMENTATION" document supplied with KAME kit, or:
9 http://www.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/kame/IMPLEMENTATION
10 As we have tested/got test reports in the past, and our end and
11 the other end may have changed their implemenations, we are not sure
12 if we can interoperate with them today (we hope them to interoperate,
14 Also note that, IKE interoperability highly depends on configuration
15 on both ends. You must configure both ends exactly the same.
17 Q: How can I make racoon interoperate with <IKE/IPsec implementation>?
20 Configure both ends exactly the same. With just a tiny little
21 differnce, you will be in trouble.
23 Q: How to build racoon on my platform?
26 As usual: configure && make && make install
27 ipsec-tools is also available as a package in the NetBSD pkgsrc
29 Q: Describe me the options to "configure".
33 Lets racoon to listen to racoon admin port, which is to
34 be contacted by racoonctl(8).
36 Enable NAT-Traversal. This needs kernel support, which is
37 available on Linux. On NetBSD, NAT-Traversal kernel support
38 has not been integrated yet, you can get it from here:
39 http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/netbsd_nat-t.diff
40 If you live in a country where software patents are legal,
41 using NAT-Traversal might infringe a patent.
43 Enable IKE fragmentation, which is a workaround for
44 broken routers that drop fragmented packets
46 Enable hybrid authentication, and ISAKMP mode config and
47 Xauth as well. Note that plain Xauth (without hybrid auth)
50 Enable the use of RADIUS with hybrid authentication on the
51 server side. RADIUS is used for authentication, configuration
54 Enable GSS-API, for Kerberos V support.
56 Enable statistics logging function.
57 --enable-samode-unspec:
58 Enable to use unspecified a mode of SA.
61 --with-kernel-headers:
62 Supply the location of Linux kernel headers.
64 Support readline input (yes by default).
66 Specify OpenSSL directory.
68 Where racoon config file goes. Default is /etc, which means
69 that racoon will look for /etc/racoon.conf
71 Where is the directory where racoon stores the control socket
72 (when using --enable-adminport). Default is /var, which
73 means racoon will use /var/racoon/racoon.sock
75 Where racoon gets installed.
77 Q: How can I get help?
80 Always identify your operating system platforms, the versions you are
81 using (like "ipsec-tools-0.5"), and information to repeat the
82 problem. The more revelant information you supply, the better your
83 chances of getting help are. Useful informations include, depending
85 - version identification
86 - trace from racoon, taken by "racoon -d 0xffffffff"
88 - configuration file you are using
89 - probabaly, tcpdump trace
90 http://orange.kame.net/dev/send-pr.html has the guideline.
