A VPN connection is created on top of the Internet
access point connection.
Managing VPN policies
VPN policies define the method that VPN client and a VPN
gateway use to authenticate each other and the
encryption algorithms that they use to help protect the
confidentiality of the data. Administrators create VPN
policies and store them on VPN policy servers or deliver
them to you as SIS files. You install VPN policies from a
VPN policy server in VPN management.
Installing VPN policies from VPN policy
servers
In VPN management, you can install VPN policies from a
VPN policy server.
Tip: VPN policy servers are servers on the enterprise
network that contain VPN policies.
To install VPN policies
1 Go to Control panel > VPN management.
2 Tap Yes when VPN management prompts you to install
VPN policies.
3 Tap Yes again to add VPN policy servers.
4 Specify settings for connecting to a VPN policy server
and tap Done.
For more information, see “Connecting to VPN policy
servers” on page 119.
5 Tap Yes to synchronise the VPN policy server.
6 Create a key store password and tap OK.
Tip: A key store password helps protect private keys
in VPN policies and VPN policy server connections
from unauthorized use.
For more information, see “Creating or changing a key
store password” on page 122.
The smartphone connects to the VPN policy server.
7 Verify the identity code of the VPN policy server and
enter the missing characters to establish trust between
the smartphone and the VPN policy server and tap OK.
You can skip this step if you install the settings for the
VPN policy server from a SIS file.
Tip: A VPN policy server identity code is the
fingerprint of the VPN policy server certificate,
which identifies the certificate.
For more information, see “Adding VPN policy servers”
on page 119.
8 Enter authentication information to access the VPN
policy server and tap OK.
Administrators tell you what information to enter.
VPN policies are installed on the smartphone.
Note: If you tap Cancel, VPN policies are not installed.
Select Install to install VPN policies from a VPN policy
server.
