Nokia 7710 manual Adding VPN policy servers

The settings consist of the address and server certificate of the VPN policy server. The server certificate makes the smartphone trust the VPN policy server, so you only need to present a user name and password to prove your identity.

The SIS file does not contain settings for the Internet access point to connect to the VPN policy server. To specify the Internet access point, edit VPN policy server settings. You can also select the Internet access point when you connect to the VPN policy server.

If administrators do not sign the SIS file, a security warning is displayed when you install the SIS file. You can ignore the warning if you can be sure that you received the SIS file from administrators.

You must exit VPN management before you install the settings from a SIS file or installation fails.

Adding VPN policy servers

In Policy servers, you can specify settings for a VPN policy server if you do not install the settings from a SIS file.

When you connect to the VPN policy server address for the first time, the smartphone does not trust the VPN policy server, so you must authenticate the VPN policy server. You receive a VPN policy server identity code from administrators. You check and complete the VPN policy server identity code and VPN client verifies it.

After successful authentication, VPN client enrolls a certificate from the VPN policy server for subsequent authentication to the VPN policy server.

To add a VPN policy server, tap New. Enter the following settings:

•Server name: - you can choose any name, but it must be unique in Policy servers.

If you leave this field empty, Server address: is inserted in this field.

The policy server name appears in the VPN policy server list.

•Server address: - host name or IP address of the VPN policy server to install VPN policies from. You can also specify a port number, separated with a colon (:). You receive the policy server address from administrators.

•Internet access point: - Internet access point used to connect to this VPN policy server.

Administrators tell you which access point to select.

To install VPN policies from the VPN policy server, tap Yes when VPN management prompts you to sychronise the VPN policy server.

Tip: Synchronising means that VPN client connects to a VPN policy server to check for new, updated, or removed VPN policies and installs the VPN policies on the smartphone.
