NAME
racoon.conf - configuration file for racoon
DESCRIPTION
racoon.conf is the configuration file for the racoon(8) ISAKMP daemon. racoon(8) negotiates security associations for itself (ISAKMP SA, or phase 1 SA) and for kernel IPsec (IPsec SA, or phase 2 SA). The file consists of a sequence of directives and statements. Each directive is composed by a tag, and statements are enclosed by `{' and `}'. Lines be- ginning with `#' are comments. Meta Syntax Keywords and special characters that the parser expects exactly are dis- played using this font. Parameters are specified with this font. Square brackets (`[' and `]') are used to show optional keywords and parameters. Note that you have to pay attention when this manual is describing port numbers. The port number is always enclosed by `[' and `]'. In this case, the port number is not an optional keyword. If it is possible to omit port number, the expression becomes [[port]]. The vertical bar (`|') is used to indicate a choice between optional parameters. Paren- theses (`(' and `)') are used to group keywords and parameters when nec- essary. Major parameters are listed below. number means a hexadecimal or a decimal number. The former must be prefixed with `0x'. string path file means any string enclosed in `"' (double quote). address means IPv6 and/or IPv4 address. port means a TCP/UDP port number. The port number is always en- closed by `[' and `]'. timeunit is one of following: sec, secs, second, seconds, min, mins, minute, minutes, hour, hours. Path Specification path include path; specifies a path to include a file. See File Inclusion. path pre_shared_key file; specifies a file containing pre-shared key(s) for various ID(s). See Pre-shared key File. path certificate path; racoon(8) will search this directory if a certificate or certifi- cate request is received. path backupsa file; specifies a file to be stored a SA information which is negotiat- ed by racoon. racoon(8) will install SA(s) from the file with a boot option -B. The file is increasing because racoon(8) simply add a SA to the file at the moment. You should maintain the file manually. File Inclusion include file other configuration files can be included. Identifier Specification is obsolete. It must be defined at each remote directive. Timer Specification timer { statements } specifies various timer values. counter number; the maximum number of retries to send. The default is 5. interval number timeunit; the interval to resend, in seconds. The default time is 10 seconds. persend number; the number of packets per send. The default is 1. phase1 number timeunit; the maximum time it should take to complete phase 1. The default time is 15 seconds. phase2 number timeunit; the maximum time it should take to complete phase 2. The default time is 10 seconds. Listening Port Specification listen { statements } If no listen directive is specified, racoon(8) will listen on all of the available interface addresses. The following is the list of valid statements: isakmp address [[port]]; If this is specified, racoon(8) will only listen on address. The default port is 500, which is specified by IANA. You can provide more than one address definition. strict_address; require that all addresses for ISAKMP must be bound. This statement will be ignored if you do not specify any addresses. Remote Nodes Specifications remote (address | anonymous) [[port]] { statements } specifies the parameters for IKE phase 1 for each remote node. The default port is 500. If anonymous is specified, the state- ments apply to all peers which do not match any other remote di- rective. The following are valid statements. exchange_mode (main | aggressive | base) Ic0 defines the exchange mode for phase 1 when racoon is the initiator. Also it means the acceptable exchange mode when racoon is responder. More than one mode can be specified by separating them with a comma. All of the modes are acceptable. The first exchange mode is what racoon uses when it is the initiator. doi ipsec_doi; means to use IPSEC-DOI as specified RFC 2407. You can omit this statement. situation identity_only; means to use SIT_IDENTITY_ONLY as specified RFC 2407. You can omit this statement. identifier idtype; is obsolete. Instead, use my_identifier. my_identifier idtype ...; specifies the identifier sent to the remote host and the type to use in the phase 1 negotiation. address, fqdn, user_fqdn, keyid and asn1dn can be used as an idtype. they are used like: my_identifier address [address]; the type is the IP address. This is the default type if you do not specify an identifier to use. my_identifier user_fqdn string; the type is a USER_FQDN (user fully-qualified do- main name). my_identifier fqdn string; the type is a FQDN (fully-qualified domain name). my_identifier keyid file; the type is a KEY_ID. my_identifier asn1dn [string]; the type is an ASN.1 distinguished name. If string is omitted, racoon(8) will get DN from Subject field in the certificate. peers_identifier idtype ...; specifies the peer's identifier to be received. If it is not defined then racoon(8) will not verify the peer's identifier in ID payload transmitted from the peer. If it is defined, the behavior of the verification depends on the flag of verify_identifier. The usage of idtype is same to my_identifier. verify_identifier (on | off); If you want to verify the peer's identifier, set this to on. In this case, if the value defined by peers_identifier is not same to the peer's identifier in the ID payload, the negotiation will failed. The default is off. certificate_type certspec; specifies a certificate specification. certspec is one of followings: x509 certfile privkeyfile; certfile means a file name of certificate. privkeyfile means a file name of secret key. peers_certfile (dnssec | certfile); If dnssec is defined, racoon(8) will ignore the CERT pay- load from the peer, and try to get the peer's certificate from DNS instead. If certfile is defined, racoon(8) will ignore the CERT payload from the peer, and will use this certificate as the peer's certificate. send_cert (on | off); If you do not want to send a certificate for some reason, set this to off. The default is on. send_cr (on | off); If you do not want to send a certificate request for some reason, set this to off. The default is on. verify_cert (on | off); If you do not want to verify the peer's certificate for some reason, set this to off. The default is on. lifetime time number timeunit; define a lifetime of a certain time which will be pro- posed in the phase 1 negotiations. Any proposal will be accepted, and the attribute(s) will be not proposed to the peer if you do not specify it(them). They can be in- dividually specified in each proposal. initial_contact (on | off); enable this to send an INITIAL-CONTACT message. The de- fault value is on. This message is useful only when the implementation of the responder choices an old SA when there are multiple SAs which are different established time, and the initiator reboots. If racoon did not use the message, the responder would use an old SA even when an new SA was established. The KAME stack has the switch in the system wide value, net.key.preferred_oldsa. when the value is zero, the stack always use an new SA. passive (on | off); If you do not want to initiate the negotiation, set this to on. The default value is off. It is useful for a server. proposal_check level; specifies the action of lifetime length and PFS of the phase 2 selection on the responder side. The default level is strict. If the level is; obey the responder will obey the initiator anytime. strict If the responder's length is longer than the ini- tiator's one, the responder uses the initiator's one. Otherwise it rejects the proposal. If PFS is not required by the responder, the responder will obey the proposal. If PFS is required by both sides and if the responder's group is not equal to the initiator's one, then the responder will reject the proposal. claim If the responder's length is longer than the ini- tiator's one, the responder will use the initia- tor's one. If the responder's length is shorter than the initiator's one, the responder uses its own length AND sends a RESPONDER-LIFETIME notify message to an initiator in the case of lifetime. About PFS, this directive is same as strict. exact If the initiator's length is not equal to the re- sponder's one, the responder will reject the pro- posal. If PFS is required by both sides and if the responder's group is not equal to the initia- tor's one, then the responder will reject the proposal. support_mip6 (on | off); If this value is set on then both values of ID payloads in phase 2 exchange are always used as the addresses of end-point of IPsec-SAs. The default is off. generate_policy (on | off); This directive is for the responder. Therefore you should set passive on in order that racoon(8) only be- comes a responder. If the responder does not have any policy in SPD during phase 2 negotiation, and the direc- tive is set on, then racoon(8) will choice the first pro- posal in the SA payload from the initiator, and generate policy entries from the proposal. It is useful to nego- tiate with the client which is allocated IP address dy- namically. Note that inappropriate policy might be in- stalled by the initiator because the responder just in- stalls policies as the initiator proposes. So that other communication might fail if such policies installed. This directive is ignored in the initiator case. The de- fault value is off. nonce_size number; define the byte size of nonce value. Racoon can send any value although RFC2409 specifies that the value MUST be between 8 and 256 bytes. The default size is 16 bytes. proposal { sub-substatements } encryption_algorithm algorithm; specify the encryption algorithm used for the phase 1 negotiation. This directive must be de- fined. algorithm is one of following: des, 3des, blowfish, cast128 for oakley. For other trans- forms, this statement should not be used. hash_algorithm algorithm; define the hash algorithm used for the phase 1 negotiation. This directive must be defined. algorithm is one of following: md5, sha1 for oak- ley. authentication_method type; defines the authentication method used for the phase 1 negotiation. This directive must be de- fined. type is one of: pre_shared_key, rsasig, gssapi_krb. dh_group group; define the group used for the Diffie-Hellman ex- ponentiations. This directive must be defined. group is one of following: modp768, modp1024, modp1536. Or you can define 1, 2, or 5 as the DH group number. When you want to use aggressive mode, you must define same DH group in each pro- posal. lifetime time number timeunit; define lifetime of the phase 1 SA proposal. Re- fer to the description of lifetime directive im- mediately defined in remote directive. gssapi_id string; define the GSS-API endpoint name, to be included as an attribute in the SA, if the gssapi_krb au- thentication method is used. If this is not de- fined, the default value of `ike/hostname' is used, where hostname is the FQDN of the interface being used. Policy Specifications The policy directive is obsolete, policies are now in the SPD. racoon(8) will obey the policy configured into the kernel by setkey(8), and will construct phase 2 proposals by combining sainfo specifications in racoon.conf, and policies in the kernel. Sainfo Specifications sainfo (source_id destination_id | anonymous) { statements } defines the parameters of the IKE phase 2 (IPsec-SA establish- ment). source_id and destination_id are constructed like: address address [/ prefix] [[port]] ul_proto or idtype string It means exactly the content of ID payload. This is not like a filter rule. For example, if you define 3ffe:501:4819::/48 as source_id. 3ffe:501:4819:1000:/64 will not match. pfs_group group; define the group of Diffie-Hellman exponentiations. If you do not require PFS then you can omit this directive. Any proposal will be accepted if you do not specify one. group is one of following: modp768, modp1024, modp1536. Or you can define 1, 2, or 5 as the DH group number. lifetime time number timeunit; define the lifetime of amount of time which are to be used IPsec-SA. Any proposal will be accepted, and no at- tribute(s) will be proposed to the peer if you do not specify it(them). See the proposal_check directive. my_identifier idtype ...; is obsolete. It does not make sense to specify a identi- fier in the phase 2. racoon(8) does not have the list of security protocols to be ne- gotiated. The list of security protocols are passed by SPD in the kernel. Therefore you have to define all of the potential algorithms in the phase 2 proposals even if there is a algorithm which will not be used. These algorithms are define by using the following three directives, and they are lined with single comma as the separator. For algorithms that can take variable-length keys, algorithm names can be followed by a key length, like ``blowfish 448''. racoon(8) will compute the actual phase 2 pro- posals by computing the permutation of the specified algorithms, and then combining them with the security protocol specified by the SPD. For example, if des, 3des, hmac_md5, and hmac_sha1 are specified as algorithms, we have four combinations for use with ESP, and two for AH. Then, based on the SPD settings, racoon(8) will construct the actual proposals. If the SPD entry asks for ESP only, there will be 4 proposals. If it asks for both AH and ESP, there will be 8 proposals. Note that the kernel may not support the algorithm you have specified. encryption_algorithm algorithms; des, 3des, des_iv64, des_iv32, rc5, rc4, idea, 3idea, cast128, blowfish, null_enc, twofish, rijndael (used with ESP) authentication_algorithm algorithms; des, 3des, des_iv64, des_iv32, hmac_md5, hmac_sha1, non_auth (used with ESP authentication and AH) compression_algorithm algorithms; deflate (used with IPComp) Logging level log level; define logging level. level is one of following: notify, debug and debug2. The default is notify. If you put too high logging level on slower machines, IKE negotiation can fail due to timing constraint changes. Specifying the way to pad padding { statements } specified padding format. The following are valid statements: randomize (on | off); enable using a randomized value for padding. The default is on. randomize_length (on | off); the pad length is random. The default is off. maximum_length number; define a maximum padding length. If randomize_length is off, this is ignored. The default is 20 bytes. exclusive_tail (on | off); means to put the number of pad bytes minus one into last part of the padding. The default is on. strict_check (on | off); means to be constrained the peer to set the number of pad bytes. The default is off. Special directives complex_bundle (on | off); defines the interpretation of proposal in the case of SA bundle. Normally ``IP AH ESP IP payload'' is proposed as ``AH tunnel and ESP tunnel''. The interpretation is more common to other IKE im- plementations, however, it allows very limited set of combina- tions for proposals. With the option enabled, it will be pro- posed as ``AH transport and ESP tunnel''. The default value is off. Pre-shared key File Pre-shared key file defines a pair of the identifier and the shared se- cret key which are used at Pre-shared key authentication method in phase 1. The pair in each lines are separated by some number of blanks and/or tab characters like hosts(5). Key can be included any blanks because all of the words after 2nd column are interpreted as a secret key. Lines start with `#' are ignored. Keys which start with `0x' are hexa-decimal strings. Note that the file must be owned by the user ID running racoon(8) (usually the privileged user), and must not be accessible by others.
