Virtual private networking
With virtual private networking (VPN), you can create
encrypted connections to information you need while
away from the office. You are in touch and in control with
encrypted access to your enterprise network for email,
database applications, and intranet.
Remote network traffic needs to be protected. Your
company might use a VPN to tunnel network traffic and
apply appropriate security policies. A VPN helps provide
network transactions with privacy and integrity and allows
users to be authenticated and authorized for access to
networks and network services.
To create a VPN, a gateway and the smartphone
authenticate each other and negotiate encryption and
authentication algorithms to help protect the privacy and
integrity of the information that you access.
Managing virtual private
networking
To use VPN connections, you first create VPN access points,
and then select VPN access points when you use
applications to connect to the enterprise. A VPN
connection is created to the enterprise network over
another type of Internet access point connection. The
connection is created and encrypted according to a VPN
policy that is loaded when you connect to a VPN access
point.
To use virtual private networking
1 Go to Desk > Control panel > VPN management.
2 Specify a connection to a VPN policy server.
You can specify settings for a VPN policy server in VPN
management or install the settings from a Symbian
installation system (SIS) file.
For more information, see “Connecting to VPN policy
servers” on page 119.
Note: If you install VPN policies from SIS files, you
do not have to create connections to VPN policy
servers.
3 Install VPN policies from the VPN policy server.
For more information, see “Installing VPN policies from
VPN policy servers” on page 116.
4 Create VPN access points.
VPN access points specify an Internet access point and
a VPN policy. For more information about creating
access points, see “Setting up an Internet access point”
on page 105.
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 smartphone.
