Certificate status
Certificate status can have the following values:
• OK—at least one valid certificate is available in the mobile
device or you do not use certificates to authenticate to
VPN gateways.
• Expired—the validity of one or more certificates has ended.
If you cannot create a VPN connection, try to update the
VPN policy to enroll new certificates.
• No certificate—one or more of the required certificates
cannot be found on the mobile device.
If you cannot create a VPN connection, try to update the
VPN policy to enroll new certificates.
• Not yet valid—one or more certificates are for future use.
This value may also mean that the date and time on the
mobile device are set in the past, time zones are not set
correctly, or the daylight saving setting is turned on.
Press the selection key to close the details and return to the
VPN policies view.
Creating VPN access points with
default values
To use the VPN policy, you must associate it with a VPN
access point. In the VPN policies view, press Options and select
Define VPN ac. point.
Mobile VPN Client creates a VPN access point with default
settings. You can create and modify VPN access points in the
VPN access points view.
Updating VPN policies
When you create a connection to a VPN access point, the
status of the VPN policy is checked from the VPN policy server.
If the administrator has created a new version of the VPN
policy, the new version is installed on the mobile device. If the
administrator has deleted the VPN policy from the VPN policy
server, the VPN policy is removed from the mobile device.
Changes become effective the next time you create a
connection to the VPN access point, so they do not affect the
current VPN connection.
You can also update a VPN policy in the VPN policies view. To
update a VPN policy, select a VPN policy, press Options, and
select Update policy. The status of the VPN policy is checked
from the VPN policy server.
Deleting VPN policies
VPN policies are deleted automatically when you synchronise
a VPN policy server after the administrator has deleted VPN
policies from the VPN policy server. If you delete a VPN policy
that still exists on the VPN policy server, the VPN policy is
installed again when you synchronise VPN policies from the
VPN policy server.
To delete a VPN policy, select the VPN policy and press the
clear key.
You cannot use a VPN access point if you delete a VPN policy
that is associated with it.
