Site Configuration file ( see below ).
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¶
The command exits with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.
FILES¶
All user related configuration data is stored under the
~/.iked directory. Site Configuration files are stored under
the
~/.iked/sites directory. Certificates and keys are are
typically stored under the
~/.iked/certs directory. These
directories are automatically created when the
ikec
application is run for the first time by a user.
