RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The deployment guide describes ipsec configuration using initscripts ifcfg files
and racoon. If we want to fully switch to openswan, we need to update the
documentation.
This depends on how we decide to handle openswan configuration, though.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
ipsec-tools are not related to Openswan. So removing ipsec-tools documents should not affect Openswan. And yes if Openswan document is not there then, that should be included in RHEL6 deployment guide.
I have removed the entire section on IPsec interface configuration from the RHEL6 Deployment Guide. According to Bill: "there is no integration into initscripts or NetworkManager for openswan at this time." That being the case, the likely target for Openswan documentation at this point is the Security Guide (current component).
happy to write content into the documentation if I can get some advice of the
state of openswan, or some sort of outline/details of what should be covered. anyone?
Sure. I had prepared a document for GSS and QE training last month that I can send to Scott. This doc can be used as a starting point and if something is not clear, I am provide more info.
