About VPN profiles

A VPN profile contains the information that you require to log in to your organization's network over VPN. Depending on your organization, your adminstrator might add a VPN profile to your BlackBerry smartphone automatically and you might have more than one VPN profile on your smartphone. For more information about VPN profiles, contact your administrator.

About software tokens

You might need a software token to log in to a VPN. A software token includes a token code that your BlackBerry smartphone regenerates periodically and a PIN. If you use a software token to log in to a VPN, the software token must be on your smartphone and the software token information that appears in the VPN profile must be correct. For more information about software tokens, contact your administrator.
