Orchestream has some of this functionality for setting the tunnels up,
you can then use the corba interface to setup management with
tools like SMARTS. The other problem is managing the keys, if you
don't have a CA it will be painful if you need to change the keys. We
have had some success with RSA's CA platform and IOS on this.
