Authenticating to VPN gateways
You need to prove your identity when you log on to the
enterprise VPN. The VPN policy determines the
authentication method that you use:
• Certificate-based authentication — you must have a
certificate that a trusted certification authority signs.
You use online certificate enrollment to obtain the
certificate or you install certificates when you install
the VPN policy from a SIS file.
• Legacy authentication — you use user names and
passwords or passcodes to authenticate.
Administrators create the user names and passwords
or give you SecurID tokens to generate the passcodes.
If you use certificates for authentication, enter the
key store password.
If you use legacy authentication, enter VPN
authentication information when you use applications to
