certificate from a certification authority and returns it
to VPN client.
The certification request and the corresponding
certificate contain the identity of the user. Depending on
the VPN policy server configuration, the VPN policy server
user identity might be used as the user identity in VPN
certificates. If this is not possible, VPN management asks
the user identity from you for a particular domain.
Administrators tell you what information to enter.
To create certification requests, in the VPN user
identity dialog, enter your certificate user identity for the
specified domain in User identity: and tap OK.
Viewing the VPN log
The VPN log contains log messages that are recorded
when you update and synchronise VPN policies and use
VPN access points to create VPN connections to VPN

recorded, and the beginning of the log message.
indicates error, warning, and information.

VPN log sorts log messages by the time and date when
they are recorded, most recent messages first. You can
view messages up to the time when you opened VPN log.
To view the most recent log messages, tap Reload.
Log messages can contain error, status, and reason codes.
Report the codes to administrators when you report errors.
To delete all log messages from the log, tap Clear log.
Log messages are recorded to a circular buffer. When the
log size reaches 20 kilobytes, new log messages are
written on top of the oldest log messages.
Key store passwords
In Key store password, you can create or change a key store
password. A key store password helps protect private keys
in the smartphone and VPN policy server connections from
unauthorized use.
Creating or changing a key store
password
You create a key store password when you install the first
VPN policy. Create key store passwords that are long and
difficult enough to help protect the information in the
smartphone. If the key store password is broken, the
enterprise network might be exposed to unauthorised
access.
Tip: A key store password must be at least six
characters long and can contain letters, numbers, and
special characters.
To change the key store password, tap Change.
