Todo #11219

Updated by Jim Pingle almost 4 years ago

Additional options are available to control for P1 and P2 renegotiation but we either calculate them or accept the defaults. Somewhat related to #10176 and similar issues with (re)negotiation, and the current P1 layout is a bit confusing for users who are used to working with total lifetime values. 

 Some changes could be made for consistency as well. What we should end up with is: 

 * IKE SA / Phase 1 

   * Life Time -- Remove Over Time and change to Life Time. Hard upper limit on IKE SA life time. 

     * Take this value and calculate others based on it (e.g. Over Time as 10%). This way users don't have to manually do the math if they want a specific total Life Time. 
     * If empty, calculated based on max of Rekey/Reauth Time (110%) 
     * Add input validation to prevent user from setting Rekey/Reauth time to the same value as Life Time 
     * Add input validation to prevent user from setting Rekey/Reauth time a larger value than Life Time 

   * Rekey Time 

     -- Same as now 
   * 0 to disable and if blank, use 90% lifetime when using IKEv2 

   * Reauth Time 

     * 0 to disable and if blank, use 90% lifetime when using IKEv1 

   -- Same as now 
   * Rand Time -- A random value subtracted from rekey/reauth time to avoid simultaneous renegotiation. 

     * Current value is empty which defaults to 10% of Life Time. 
     * 0 to disable, but warn against disabling. 

 * Child SA / Phase 2 

   * Life Time -- Same as now but warn it is a hard upper limit, similar to P1. 

     * If empty, defaults to 110% of Rekey Time 
     * If both Rekey Time and Life Time are empty, default to 3960s. 
     * Add input validation to prevent user from setting Rekey time to the same value as Life Time 

   * Rekey Time -- Time at which to rekey the child SA entry.  

     * Currently calculated as 90% of Life Time. 
     * 0 to disable rekeying, but warn against disabling. 
     * If empty, default to 90% of Life Time. 
     * If both Rekey Time and Life Time are empty, default to 3600s. 

   * Rand Time -- A random value subtracted from rekey time to avoid simultaneous renegotiation. 

     * Currently calculated as 10% of Life Time. 
     * 0 to disable, but warn against disabling. 
     * If empty, then take the difference of Life Time and Rekey Time. 
     * No effect if rekey is disabled 

 Needs upgrade code to change existing options into this new model, take into consideration changes which have already been made in @upgrade_199_to_200()@.
