Installing VPN policies from SIS files
Administrators can deliver VPN policies to you as SIS files.
If you install VPN policies from SIS files, you do not have
to define connections to VPN policy servers. After you
install VPN policies, you can create VPN access points and
associate them to applications.
If the VPN policies contain private keys and corresponding
certificates, administrators define key import passwords
to help protect the private keys. Administrators should use
a secure method to deliver the key import password to you.
Tip: A key import password helps protect the private
keys in a VPN policy file.
To install VPN policies from SIS files, write the key
import password in Key import pass.: and tap OK. Then write
the key store password in Key store password and tap OK.
Viewing VPN policies
In VPN management, you can view, update, and delete the
VPN policies that you install on a smartphone.
To view VPN policy details, select a VPN policy and
tap Open to view more information.
Scroll to view the following information about each VPN
policy:
• Description: shows additional information about the
VPN policy. The description is read from the VPN policy.
Administrators define the description when they create
the VPN policy.
• Policy status: indicates whether the VPN policy is ready
to use or not or whether it is already in use.
• Certificate status: indicates whether valid user
certificates are available in the smartphone.
• Policy name: shows the name of the VPN policy.

• Policy server: shows the name of the VPN policy server
from where you installed the VPN policy. You give
names to VPN policy servers when you define

if you installed the VPN policy from a SIS file.

updated from the VPN policy server. This field is
hidden if you installed the VPN policy from a SIS file.
Checking policy status
