Virtual private networking
With virtual private networking (VPN), you can create
encrypted connections to information you need while
away from the office. You are in touch and in control with
encrypted access to your enterprise network for email,
database applications, and intranet.
Remote network traffic needs to be protected. Your
company might use a VPN to tunnel network traffic and
apply appropriate security policies. A VPN helps provide
network transactions with privacy and integrity and allows
users to be authenticated and authorized for access to
networks and network services.
To create a VPN, a gateway and the smartphone
authenticate each other and negotiate encryption and
authentication algorithms to help protect the privacy and
integrity of the information that you access.
Note: The VPN system of the Nokia 7710 smartphone
currently supports the following gateways: Nokia
IP VPN Gateway, Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator
Series and Nokia IP Security Platform. Search
www.nokia-asia.com for up-to-date information
on other supported gateways.
Managing virtual private
networking
To use VPN connections, you first create VPN access points,
and then select VPN access points when you use
applications to connect to the enterprise. A VPN
connection is created to the enterprise network over
another type of Internet access point connection.
The connection is created and encrypted according to
a VPN policy that is loaded when you connect to a VPN
access point.
To use virtual private networking
1 Go to Desk > Control panel > VPN management..
2 Specify a connection to a VPN policy server.
You can specify settings for a VPN policy server in VPN
management or install the settings from a Symbian
installation system (SIS) file.
For more information, see “Connecting to VPN policy
servers” on page 128.
Note: If you install VPN policies from SIS files, you do
not have to create connections to VPN policy servers.
