Adding VPN policy servers
In
Policy servers
, you can specify settings for a VPN policy
server if you do not install the settings from a SIS file.
When you connect to the VPN policy server address for
the first time, the smartphone does not trust the VPN
policy server, so you must authenticate the VPN policy
server. You receive a VPN policy server identity code from
administrators. You check and complete the VPN policy
server identity code and VPN client verifies it.
After successful authentication, VPN client enrolls a
certificate from the VPN policy server for subsequent
authentication to the VPN policy server.
To add a VPN policy server, tap
New
. Enter the
following settings:
•
Server name:
— you can choose any name, but it must
be unique in
Policy servers
.
If you leave this field empty,
Server address:
is inserted
in this field.
The policy server name appears in the VPN policy server
list.
•
Server address:
— host name or IP address of the VPN
policy server to install VPN policies from. You can also
specify a port number, separated with a colon (:).
You receive the policy server address from
administrators.
•
Internet access point:
— Internet access point used to
connect to this VPN policy server.
Administrators tell you which access point to select.
To install VPN policies from the VPN policy server,
tap
Yes
when
VPN management
prompts you to sychronise
the VPN policy server.
Tip: Synchronising means that VPN client connects to
a VPN policy server to check for new, updated, or
removed VPN policies and installs the VPN policies on
the smartphone.
When you connect to the VPN policy server address for the
first time, the VPN policy server is not trusted, so you must
authenticate the VPN policy server. You receive a VPN
policy server identity code from administrators.
To verify the identity of the VPN policy server,
carefully compare the VPN policy server identity code in
the
VPN policy server identity code
dialog with the code that
V

you receive from administrators, enter the missing
characters in
Missing chars.:
, and tap
OK
.
Note: If you install VPN policy server settings from a
SIS file, you do not have to verify VPN server identity
and this view never appears.
To authenticate to the VPN policy server, enter your
user name in
User name:
and password in
Password:
and tap
OK
in the
VPN policy server authentication
dialog.
Administrators tell you the user name and password to
enter.
Tip: A policy server user name and password help
protect the VPN policy server from unauthorized
access.
VPN client enrolls a certificate for subsequent
authentication to the VPN policy server and installs VPN
policies on the smartphone.
Tip: Enrolling a certificate means sending a
certification request to a certification authority and
receiving a certificate.
You can now create VPN access points and associate them
with applications.
