  }
}

Peer configuration

Parameters for an IPsec peer:

strongswan::conn { 'peer':
  options => {
    "left"         => "10.0.1.1",
    "leftcert"     => 'peerCert.der',
    "leftfirewall" => 'no',
    "leftid"       => '"C=UK, CN=Peer 1"',
    "leftsubnet"   => "10.0.1.0/24",
    "right"        => '10.0.2.1',
    "rightauth"    => 'pubkey',
    "rightid"      => '"C=UK, CN=Peer 2"',
    "rightsubnet"  => '10.0.2.0/24',
    "auto"         => "start",
  }
}

strongswan::secrets { 'peer':
  options => {
    'ECDSA'        => 'peerKey.der',
  }
}

Gateway configuration

Parameters for an IPsec gateway server:

strongswan::conn { 'gateway':
  options => {
    "left"          => '%any',
    "leftcert"      => 'gwCert.der',
    "leftfirewall"  => "yes",
    "leftid"        => '"C=UK, CN=GW"',
    "leftsubnet"    => '10.0.0.0/24',
    "right"         => '%any',
    "rightauth"     => "pubkey",
    "rightsourceip" => '10.0.1.0/24',
    "auto"          => 'add',
  }
}

strongswan::secrets { 'peer':
  options => {
    'ECDSA'         => 'gwKey.der',
  }
}

Gateway charon configuration:

class { 'strongswan::charon':
  dns1                  => "10.0.0.5",
  initiator_only        => "no",
  integrity_test        => "yes",
}

NOTE: This module is solely intended to handle the strongSwan components of the system. Other parts of the infrastructure, such as iptables and sysctl, are to be managed by their respective modules. The following will enable packet forwarding on the gateway node, for instance:

sysctl { 'net.ipv4.ip_forward': value => '1' }
