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 supports IKE.

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.
