Managing virtual private
networking

To use VPN connections, you first create VPN access
points, and then select VPN access points when you use
applications to connect to the enterprise. A VPN
connection is created to the enterprise network over
another type of Internet access point connection. The
connection is created and encrypted according to a VPN
policy that is loaded when you connect to a VPN access
point.

VPN access points specify an Internet access point and
a VPN policy. For more information about creating
access points, see “Setting up an Internet access
point” on page 105.

Note: VPN access points combine VPN policies

with Internet access points. When you synchronise
a VPN policy server for the first time, matching VPN
access points are created for each policy that you
install on the smartphone.

Select a VPN access point when you use applications
to connect to the enterprise network.
For more information, see “Using VPN with
applications” on page 123.
A VPN connection is created on top of the Internet
access point connection.
