Description

RFC 4025 and RFC 4322 describe how to use DNSSEC to hold information to relating to the configuration of IPsec Phase 1 and Phase 2 respectively for establishing IPsec tunnels.

Can support for these RFCs be included in OpenIndiana?

Assuming that all the major Firewall vendors also support these RFCs, then establishing VPNs between OpenIndiana could be radically simplified.

The IPsec part of this bug (gathering SPD information via DNSSEC) might be possible, but the IKE part is not, due to IKEv1 (in.iked) being closed-source, and IKEv2 being a victim of Oracle.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed

Closing this, since 1/2 of it affects a closed-source program, and the other half should be called out separately IF that's the problem you really want solved (IPsec SPD/ipsecconf(1M) input in DNS).
