Mobile VPN Client User’s Guide
Go to Menu and select Tools > Settings >
Connection >VPN.
With a virtual private network (VPN), you can create
encrypted connections to access information you need while
you are away from the office. You are in touch and in control
with encrypted access to your enterprise network for email,
database applications, and intranet.
To create a VPN connection, a VPN gateway and the mobile
device authenticate each other and negotiate encryption and
authentication algorithms to help protect the privacy and
integrity of the information you access.
Managing virtual private
networking
To create VPN connections, you first connect to a VPN policy
server to install VPN policies and VPN access points. Then you
select a VPN access point whenever you use an application and
want to connect to the enterprise network. The VPN
connection to the enterprise network is created and data is
encrypted according to a VPN policy that is loaded when you
connect to a VPN access point.
Note: To use VPN, you need VPN policy server
settings from your administrator.
To use virtual private networking
1 Connect to a VPN policy server.
See “Connecting to VPN policy servers” on page 7.
2 Install VPN policies from the VPN policy server.
See “Installing VPN policies” on page 4.
The VPN policy server automatically installs a VPN access
point, specifying an Internet access point and a VPN policy
to use with the access point.
Note: VPN access points combine VPN
policies with Internet access points. When
you synchronise a VPN policy server for the
first time, matching VPN access points are
created for each policy that you install on the
mobile device.
3 When using an application, select a VPN access point to
connect to the enterprise network.
See “VPN and applications” on page 10.
A VPN connection is created on top of the Internet
connection.
