Openswan: Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks: Learn from the developers of Openswan how to build industry standard, military grade VPNs ... with Windows, MacOSX, and other VPN vendors Review by Charles Rutledge
Complete Guide for Installing and Configuring Openswan
I bought this book to setup Openswan IPSec on Linux server that would connect to a Watchguard Firebox. Since the Linux distro was Slackware, I got to go through the entire build and setup procedure (which, dispite the author's distain for Slackware, was not as bad as seems). The book covers theory and operation of IPSec in general as well as the details of installing (from binary distributions and source tar balls) and configuring Openswan IPSec and overcoming the bumbs encountered getting it all running.
Included are details and problems of making Openswan work with other IPSec devices, such as Watchguard (in my case), Cisco and Microsoft's IPSec implementation. And when dealing with connecting to Microsoft, they deal with the problems you will encounter and how to work through them.
If you are planning to setup IPSec on a Linux server using Openswan, you'll want this book at your side to help guide you through the entire process.
