The following
.B config section
parameters are used by the IKEv1 Pluto daemon only:
.TP
.BR crlcheckinterval " = " 0s " | <time>"
interval in seconds. CRL fetching is enabled if the value is greater than zero.
Asynchronous, periodic checking for fresh CRLs is currently done by the
IKEv1 Pluto daemon only.
.TP
.BR keep_alive " = " 20s " | <time>"
interval in seconds between NAT keep alive packets, the default being 20 seconds.
.TP
.BR nat_traversal " = yes | " no
activates NAT traversal by accepting source ISAKMP ports different from udp/500 and
being able of floating to udp/4500 if a NAT situation is detected.
Accepted values are
.B yes
and
.B no
(the default).
Used by IKEv1 only, NAT traversal is always being active in IKEv2.
.TP
.BR nocrsend " = yes | " no
no certificate request payloads will be sent.
.TP
.BR pkcs11initargs " = <args>"
non-standard argument string for PKCS#11 C_Initialize() function;
required by NSS softoken.
.TP
.BR pkcs11module " = <args>"
defines the path to a dynamically loadable PKCS #11 library.
.TP
.BR pkcs11keepstate " = yes | " no
PKCS #11 login sessions will be kept during the whole lifetime of the keying
daemon. Useful with pin-pad smart card readers.
Accepted values are
.B yes
and
.B no
(the default).
.TP
.BR pkcs11proxy " = yes | " no
Pluto will act as a PKCS #11 proxy accessible via the whack interface.
Accepted values are
.B yes
and
.B no
(the default).
.TP
.BR plutodebug " = " none " | <debug list> | all"
how much pluto debugging output should be logged.
An empty value,
or the magic value
.BR none ,
means no debugging output (the default).
The magic value
.B all
means full output.
Otherwise only the specified types of output
(a quoted list, names without the
.B \-\-debug\-
prefix,
separated by white space) are enabled;
for details on available debugging types, see
.IR pluto (8).
.TP
.BR plutostderrlog " = <file>"
Pluto will not use syslog, but rather log to stderr, and redirect stderr
to <file>.
.TP
.BR postpluto " = <command>"
shell command to run after starting pluto
(e.g., to remove a decrypted copy of the
.I ipsec.secrets
file).
It's run in a very simple way;
complexities like I/O redirection are best hidden within a script.
Any output is redirected for logging,
so running interactive commands is difficult unless they use
.I /dev/tty
or equivalent for their interaction.
Default is none.
.TP
.BR prepluto " = <command>"
shell command to run before starting pluto
(e.g., to decrypt an encrypted copy of the
.I ipsec.secrets
file).
It's run in a very simple way;
complexities like I/O redirection are best hidden within a script.
Any output is redirected for logging,
