VPN policies
Go to Menu and select Tools > Settings > Connection >
VPN > VPN management > VPN policies.
VPN policies define the method that a mobile device and a
VPN gateway use to authenticate each other and the
encryption algorithms that they use to encrypt the data.
Administrators create VPN policies and store them on VPN
policy servers. You install VPN policies from a VPN policy
server. A VPN policy server is a Nokia Security Service
Manager (Nokia SSM).
Installing VPN policies
Glossary: VPN policy servers are servers on the
enterprise network that contain VPN policies.
To install VPN policies
1 Go to an empty VPN policies view, and press Yes when you
are asked to install VPN policies.
2 Press Yes when you are asked to add VPN policy servers.
3 Specify the settings for connecting to a VPN policy server.
• Policy server name—enter a name for the VPN policy
server. You can specify any name for the policy server,
but it must be unique in the VPN policy servers view.
If you leave this field empty, Policy server addr. appears
in the field.
• Policy server addr.—enter the 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 get the policy server address from the
administrator.
• Internet access point—associate the VPN policy server
with an access point. The access point is used to
connect to this VPN policy server.
You get the access point information from the
administrator.
4 Press Back to save the VPN policy server settings.
5 Press Yes when you are asked to synchronise the VPN
policy server.
Glossary: Synchronising means that a VPN
policy server is checked for new, updated, or
removed VPN policies.
6 Create a key store password.
Glossary: A key store password helps protect
private keys in VPN policies and VPN policy
server connections from unauthorised use.
See “Creating or changing a key store password” on
page 9.
You are connected to the VPN policy server.
7 Verify the identity of the VPN policy server. You receive a
VPN policy server identity code from the administrator.
Carefully compare the displayed VPN policy server identity
code with the code that you have received from the
administrator, enter the missing characters in the field,
and press OK.
Glossary: A VPN policy server identity code is
the fingerprint of the VPN policy server
certificate, which identifies the certificate.
