OSX and Ipsec TwistedPair 09-17-2006

All,
I have IPSec policies running in a test environment, but I wanted to find
out if anyone has ever been able to get OSX to participate in a windows
IPsec enforced network?

In other words, suppose you set up IPSec policies so that All communications
between domain members was encrypted, and all domain members dropped all
other traffic. Could you get OSX to participate somehow in that IPSec club?

Thank you in advance,
-Pair

I might be well out of sync with the MacOS evolution, but I don't think it
supports IPsec in transport mode that is used by windows and will negotiate
IPsec with unknown hosts. If you have proof to otherwise, please post back.

If you want all-encrypted network, that is possible if you will use
something like a router that will maintain encrypted tunnel with Mac (using
IPsec, or even PPTP), and IPsec connection to the rest of the network.

I definitely don't have proof otherwise, and I even tried to get one to
participate in transport mode, but it failed. It just simply couldn't see
any of the windows computers that were participating. I hadn't joined it to
the domain though ahead of time, so I'll try that next. I still don't
expect to find anything though.

Thank you VERY much for the advice.
