Checking certificate status
Certificate status: can have the following values:
Unknown — VPN client cannot determine the status of the
certificates.
OK — at least one valid certificate is available in the
smartphone or you do not use certificates to authenticate
to VPN gateways.
Expired — lifetime of one or more certificates has ended. If
you cannot create a VPN connection, update the VPN
policy to enroll new certificates.
No certificate — One or more of the required certificates
cannot be found on the smartphone. 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 might also mean that the date and time on the
smartphone are set in the past, time zones are not set
correctly, or the daylight-saving setting is turned on.
To delete the VPN policy, tap Delete.
To close the VPN policy details, tap Close.
Updating VPN policies
When you create a connection to a VPN access point, VPN
client checks the status of the VPN policy that is
associated with the VPN access point from the VPN policy
server. If administrators created a new version of the VPN
policy, the new version is installed on the smartphone. If
administrators deleted the VPN policy from the VPN policy
server, the VPN policy is removed from the smartphone.
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 VPN management.
To update a VPN policy, select a VPN policy and tap
Update. VPN client checks the status of the VPN policy
from the VPN policy server.
Deleting VPN policies
VPN policies are deleted automatically after
administrators delete them from the VPN policy server
when you update a VPN policy or synchronise the VPN
policy server.
If you delete a VPN policy in VPN management 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 tap
Delete.
You cannot use a VPN access point if you delete the VPN
policy that is associated with it.
