Administration Guide

Creating and configuring Wi-Fi profiles and VPN profiles

To create a VPN profile, you configure the VPN configuration settings (for example, the IP address of the VPN concentrator, user names and passwords, and cryptographic methods that the BlackBerry Enterprise Server uses) on a BlackBerry device or using a VPN profile or IT policy. You can assign one or more VPN profiles to a user account or to a group. If a user account has a VPN profile, you can associate the VPN profile with the Wi-Fi profile for the user account.

Depending on your organization's security policy, you can save a user name and password to a BlackBerry device to prevent the BlackBerry device from prompting the user for the login information the first time (or each time) the BlackBerry device connects to the enterprise Wi-Fi network.
