Before You Begin
You must assume the root role. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.2 . If you administer remotely, see Example 7–1 and How to Remotely Administer ZFS With Secure Shell in Managing Secure Shell Access in Oracle Solaris 11.2 for secure remote login instructions.
The central system needs a policy that allows a wide range of IP addresses. Later, certificates in the IKE policy ensure that the connecting systems are legitimate.
# /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on central
# Keep everyone out unless they use this IPsec policy:
{} ipsec {encr_algs aes encr_auth_algs sha256 sa shared}
DNS identifies the central system. Certificates are used to authenticate the system.

The /etc/hosts file does not need an address for the mobile system, but can provide one. The file must contain a public IP address for the central system, central.
# /etc/hosts on mobile central 192.xxx.xxx.x
The mobile system needs to find the central system by its public IP address. The systems must configure the same IPsec policy.
# /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on mobile
# Find central
{raddr 192.xxx.xxx.x} ipsec {encr_algs aes encr_auth_algs sha256 sa shared}
The identifier cannot be an IP address. The following identifiers are valid for mobile systems:
DN=ldap-directory-name
DNS=domain-name-server-address
email=email-address

IKE can initiate negotiations from behind a NAT box. However, the ideal setup for IKE is without an intervening NAT box. In the following example, the CA's public certificate has been placed on the mobile system and the central system. A central system accepts IPsec negotiations from a system behind a NAT box. main1 is the company system that can accept connections from off-site systems. To set up the off-site systems, see Example 10–5.
## /etc/hosts on main1 main1 192.168.0.100
## /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on main1

Example 10-5 Configuring a System Behind a NAT With IPsec and IKEv1
In the following example, the CA's public certificate is placed on the mobile system and the central system. mobile1 is connecting to the company headquarters from home. The Internet service provider (ISP) network uses a NAT box to enable the ISP to assign mobile1 a private address. The NAT box then translates the private address into a public IP address that is shared with other ISP network nodes. Company headquarters is not behind a NAT. For setting up the computer at company headquarters, see Example 10–4.
## /etc/hosts on mobile1 mobile1 10.1.3.3 main1 192.168.0.100
## /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on mobile1
# Find main1

Example 10-6 Accepting Self-Signed Certificates From a Mobile System
In the following example, self-signed certificates have been issued and are on the mobile and the central system. main1 is the company system that can accept connections from off-site systems. To set up the off-site systems, see Example 10–7.
## /etc/hosts on main1 main1 192.168.0.100
## /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on main1
# Keep everyone out unless they use this IPsec policy:
{} ipsec {encr_algs aes encr_auth_algs sha256 sa shared}
## /etc/inet/ike/ike.config on main1
# Global parameters
#
# Self-signed certificates - trust me and enumerated others

# Rule for off-site systems with trusted certificate

local_id_type DNS
local_id "main1.domain.org"
local_addr 192.168.0.100
# Trust the self-signed certificates

Example 10-7 Using Self-Signed Certificates to Contact a Central System
In the following example, mobile1 is connecting to the company headquarters from home. The certificates have been issued and placed on the mobile and the central system. The ISP network uses a NAT box to enable the ISP to assign mobile1 a private address. The NAT box then translates the private address into a public IP address that is shared with other ISP network nodes. Company headquarters is not behind a NAT. To set up the computer at company headquarters, see Example 10–6.
## /etc/hosts on mobile1 mobile1 10.1.3.3 main1 192.168.0.100
## /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf on mobile1
# Find main1
{raddr 192.168.0.100} ipsec {encr_algs aes encr_auth_algs sha256 sa shared}

Next Steps
If you have not completed establishing IPsec policy, return to the IPsec procedure to enable or refresh IPsec policy. For examples of IPsec policy protecting VPNs, see Protecting a VPN With IPsec. For other examples of IPsec policy, see How to Secure Network Traffic Between Two Servers With IPsec.
