SYNOPSIS
qikec [-r name] [-u username] [-p password] [-a]

DESCRIPTION
The qikec Qt GUI application provides a simple interface for users to interact with iked(8) ( Shrew Soft IKE Daemon ). This interface allows a user to control an IPsec VPN Client connection with a remote gateway. The parameters used for the connection are described in a Site Configuration file. For more information about managing Site Configuration files, please see the ikea(1) man page.

The options are as follows:

-r name
    Specify the Site Configuration name.

-u username
    Specify the Xauth username for the connection.

-p password
    Specify the Xauth password for the connection.
