List Certificates
This menu lists available certificate files, their corresponding key files and details
whether a public key for the certificate is configured.
VPN Connections
The IPsec main menu “Add a new IPsec VPN connection” link leads to the “Create
Connection” menu, creating a new connection and its icon. Selecting the connection's
icon from the IPsec main menu displays the same menu, allowing editing and
deletion.
An IPsec connection is composed of three types of information. There is information
about the the local host, the remote host and about the overall connection between
them. The configuration data has been designed in such a way that there are identical
connection specifications on both ends. Because of this, connection specifications are
written in terms of “left” and “right” participants, rather than in terms of local and
remote. Which participant is considered left or right is arbitrary; IPsec figures
out which one it is being run on based on internal information.
The Create/Edit Connection menu is reflects this organization by being split into three
sections. The first section (IPsec VPN Connection Details) describes parameters
relating to the connection itself.
The next two sections (Left System's Settings, Right System's Settings) describe IP
networking parameters and RSA signatures at each peer. These two sections are
identical and are described once.
