It runs on top of a PostgreSQL database.
After checking out the SVN source code or downloading the tar ball for the net-policy project, run ./np-install as root to help guide you through a complete installation using our graphical installer.
Configurable optional pieces
The net-policy manager is capable of managing the following modules. The management system above is already capable of managing
np-cerberus: A IPsec implementation for linux based on the 2.4 kernel. This code is derived from NIST's IPsec reference project. We ported the code to the 2.4 kernel and added some IPtables specific pieces and re-released it here (with their permission).
np-plutoplus: A IKE implementation which runs on top of np-cerberus. This is code is derived from NIST's IKE reference project. It has been instrumented with SNMP support using the Net-SNMP toolkit.
