Chapter 2 - SSH IPSec Client

Installation and Setup

Introduction

This section describes the SSH Sentinel software, an IPSsec client product by SSH Communications Security Corp, providing secure communications over a TCP/IP connection. The Sentinel SSH software is used by client devices for secure connection to the Multi-Tech RouteFinder model RF650VPN. The SSH Sentinel client installation and setup procedures are described in the following sections.

The installation of the SSH Sentinel software is a straightforward process guided by an installation wizard, and you should be able to complete it without studying this manual. This beginning of this section describes the first installation of the SSH Sentinel software. During the installation, you create an authentication key pair and a matching certificate to be used for authentication. However, if a previous version of the software is already installed on your computer, then launching the installation only updates the existing software to the new version. The security policy rules and the authentication keys that you have configured with the previous version of the software are preserved. You can always remove the software completely and then reinstall it.

SSH Sentinel is a client-type implementation of IPSec; it is not IPSec gateway software, even though some of the Windows platforms are capable of functioning as routers. Before starting SSH Sentinel client installation, make sure that there are no other IPSec implementations, network sniffers, NAT applications, firewalls, or third party intermediate network drivers installed. SSH Sentinel may affect the functionality of such software.

The SSH Sentinel installation requires that you have full access rights for the system files on your computer. On a Windows NT system, you must log in with administrator rights.
