XC04 Remove-Access IPsec (Openswan X.509, Win2k) (3 Days)
In this course the students will learn about configuring IPsec VPNs
using Openswan, and Microsoft Windows 2K/XP clients.
IPsec is the IP security protocol. VPN is a Virtual Private Network,
used to connect different locations together.
Openswan is an IPsec implementation for Linux systems, that is
inter-operable with many
other systems, including Microsoft Windows.
At the end of the course the students will be able to configure and
deploy single location systems with multiple teleworker/home-workers
that are using either Linux or Windows.
Initial work will focus on use of raw-RSA keys. Subsequent labs will
introduce the role of X.509/PKIX certificates, and use of OpenSSL to
implement a mini-certificate authority.
LDAP (lightweight directory access protocol) and
CRL (certificate revocation lists) are not in scope for this course.
This is a hands on course.
Prerequisites:
- Linux Systems Administration
- TCP/IP Networking
- Previous experience with IPsec VPNs
