SYNOPSIS
ikec [-r name] [-u username] [-p password] [-a]
DESCRIPTION
The ikec Qt GUI application provides a simple interface for users to
interact with iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ). This interface allows a
user to control an IPsec VPN Client connection with a remote gateway. The
parameters used for the connection are described in a Site Configuration
file. For more information about managing Site Configuration files,
please see the ikea(1) man page. Please note, the ikec application is not
typically started directly by a user but as a sub-process of the ikea(1)
Qt GUI application.
The options are as follows:
-r name Specify the Site Configuration name.
- -u username
- Specify the Xauth username for the connection.
- -p password
- Specify the Xauth password for the connection.
- -a Automatically initiate the connection.
RETURN VALUES
