Certificate status
Certificate status can have the following values:
• OK—at least one valid certificate is available in the mobile 
device or you do not use certificates to authenticate to 
VPN gateways.
• Expired—the validity of one or more certificates has ended. 
If you cannot create a VPN connection, try to update the 
VPN policy to enroll new certificates. 
• No certificate—one or more of the required certificates 
cannot be found on the mobile device.
If you cannot create a VPN connection, try to update the 
VPN policy to enroll new certificates.
• Not yet valid—one or more certificates are for future use. 
This value may also mean that the date and time on the 
mobile device are set in the past, time zones are not set 
correctly, or the daylight saving setting is turned on.
Press the selection key to close the details and return to the 
VPN policies view.
Creating VPN access points with 
default values
To use the VPN policy, you must associate it with a VPN 
access point. In the VPN policies view, press Options and select 
Define VPN ac. point.
Mobile VPN Client creates a VPN access point with default 
settings. You can create and modify VPN access points in the 
VPN access points view.
Updating VPN policies
When you create a connection to a VPN access point, the 
status of the VPN policy is checked from the VPN policy server. 
If the administrator has created a new version of the VPN 
policy, the new version is installed on the mobile device. If the 
administrator has deleted the VPN policy from the VPN policy 
server, the VPN policy is removed from the mobile device.
Changes become effective the next time you create a 
connection to the VPN access point, so they do not affect the 
current VPN connection.
You can also update a VPN policy in the VPN policies view. To 
update a VPN policy, select a VPN policy, press Options, and 
select Update policy. The status of the VPN policy is checked 
from the VPN policy server.
Deleting VPN policies
VPN policies are deleted automatically when you synchronise 
a VPN policy server after the administrator has deleted VPN 
policies from the VPN policy server. If you delete a VPN policy 
that still exists on the VPN policy server, the VPN policy is 
installed again when you synchronise VPN policies from the 
VPN policy server.
To delete a VPN policy, select the VPN policy and press the 
clear key.
You cannot use a VPN access point if you delete a VPN policy 
that is associated with it.
