Using Digital Certificates

The VPN Client works with Certificate Authorities (CAs) that support SCEP, manual enrollment, or PKCS import.

Each time you establish a VPN connection using a certificate, the VPN Client verifies that your certificate is not expired.

Valid— A message appears that indicates the validation period for this certificate.

Expired—A warning appears that indicates when the certificate expired.

Each digital certificate is protected by a password. If the connection entry you are using requires a digital certificate for authentication, the VPN Certificate Authentication dialog box appears (Figure 5-8).

Figure 5-8 Certificate Password

Enter the certificate password and click OK.
