Connecting to a virtual private network (VPN)
Add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) so you can connect and
access resources inside a secured local network, such as your corporate network.
Depending on the type of VPN you’re using at work, you may be asked to enter your
login credentials and install security certificates before you can connect to your
company’s local network. You can get this information from your network
administrator.
Also, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection before you can start a
VPN connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on
your phone, see "Data connection" and "Wi-Fi" in this chapter.

2. Tap Security > Set password.
3. Enter a new password for the credential storage.
4. Scroll down and confirm the password, and then tap OK.
5. Select the Use secure credentials check box.
You can then download and install the certificates needed to access your local
network. Your network administrator can tell you how to do this.
