Configuring Connection Entries

A connection entry is a set of parameters that the VPN Client uses to identify and connect to a specific private network.

Connection entry parameters include a name and description for the connection, the name or address of the VPN device (the remote server providing the connection), and authentication information that identifies you as a valid user to the VPN device.

This chapter describes how to configure the parameters for a VPN Client connection entry.

Creating a Connection Entry

To use the VPN Client, you must create at least one connection entry, which identifies the following information:

•The VPN device that is providing access to the network.

•Preshared keys—The IPSec group that you have been assigned to. Your IPSec group determines the set of privileges you have for accessing and using the private network. For example, it specifies access hours, number of simultaneous logins, user authentication method, and the IPSec algorithms your VPN Client uses.

•Certificates—The name of the certificate you are using for authentication.

•Optional parameters that govern VPN Client operation and connection to the remote network.

You can create multiple connection entries if you use your VPN Client to connect to multiple networks (though not simultaneously) or if you belong to more than one IPSec group.
