Managing VPN policy servers
In VPN policy servers, you can install VPN policies from VPN
policy servers. When you create a connection to a VPN
access point, the smartphone connects to the VPN policy
server to automatically update the VPN policy that is
associated with the VPN access point. To update all VPN
policies, synchronise VPN policy servers with the
smartphone.
Connecting to VPN policy servers
When you install VPN policies from a VPN policy server,
you create a trust relationship between the smartphone
and the VPN policy server. To create the trust relationship,
you must authenticate the VPN policy server and the VPN
policy server must authenticate you.
After the VPN policy server authenticates you, VPN client
generates a private key and enrolls a corresponding
certificate for you. The private key and certificate are
stored in a key store on the smartphone. The certificate
authenticates you to the VPN policy server.
Tip: Administrators can deliver to you a SIS file that
contains settings that specify a connection to a VPN
policy server or you can add the VPN policy server in
VPN management.
Installing settings from SIS files
You can install VPN policy server settings on the VPN
policy server from a SIS file. You install the settings on a
smartphone in the same way that you install other
software.
The settings consist of the address and server certificate
of the VPN policy server. The server certificate makes the
smartphone trust the VPN policy server, so you only need
to present a user name and password to prove your
identity.
The SIS file does not contain settings for the Internet
access point to connect to the VPN policy server. To
specify the Internet access point, edit VPN policy server
settings. You can also select the Internet access point
when you connect to the VPN policy server.
If administrators do not sign the SIS file, a security
warning is displayed when you install the SIS file. You can
ignore the warning if you can be sure that you received
the SIS file from administrators.
You must exit VPN management before you install the
settings from a SIS file or installation fails.
Adding VPN policy servers
In VPN policy servers, you can specify settings for a VPN
policy server if you do not install the settings from a SIS
file.
