3/12/2014

Windows Embedded Compact includes ipsecfg, a sample configuration tool for IPSec. Ipseccfg is located in the %_WINCEROOT%\common\oak\drivers\netsamp\ipseccfg directory.

You can use this sample to create a customized configuration tool and user interface.

Note

The IPSec APIs will be deprecated in the next release of Windows Embedded Compact. Replace them with the WFP IPSec APIs. For more information, see Windows Filtering Platform.

The syntax for the IPSec utility is as follows:

         [loadpolicyFile] [unloadpolicyName]startonlystartsetresetstoploglevellogmethod

  • start[policyName]
    Starts IPSec and sets a policy by reading the policy information for policyName that is stored in the registry.
  • set[policyName]
