[Openswan Users] Testing of openswan-Do we need a certificate

[karthik.ramanathan at wipro.com]

hi,

I have configured IPsec using openswan in my linux PC . On my windows
2000 i have configured IPsec .For implementation and connection to be
established between two PCs do i require a certificate on both sides ???


If it is so then please tell me how to get a certificate for both the
machines . Also on ipsec.conf there is a parameter called pfs can anyone
tell me what is the use of that and what value should i put for that
???? Is it required compulsory in the conf file or can i remove that ???
i jus know the full form of pfs and want to know what it is actually
used for ??

Thanks and regards
Karthik
