Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection >VPN. With a virtual private network (VPN), you can create encrypted connections to access information you need while you are away from the office. You are in touch and in control with encrypted access to your enterprise network for email, database applications, and intranet. To create a VPN connection, a VPN gateway and the mobile device authenticate each other and negotiate encryption and authentication algorithms to help protect the privacy and integrity of the information you access.
To use virtual private networking
1 Connect to a VPN policy server.
See "Connecting to VPN policy servers" on page 7.
2 Install VPN policies from the VPN policy server.
See "Installing VPN policies" on page 4. The VPN policy server automatically installs a VPN access point, specifying an Internet access point and a VPN policy to use with the access point. Note: VPN access points combine VPN policies with Internet access points. When you synchronise a VPN policy server for the first time, matching VPN access points are created for each policy that you install on the mobile device.
Managing virtual private networking
To create VPN connections, you first connect to a VPN policy server to install VPN policies and VPN access points. Then you select a VPN access point whenever you use an application and want to connect to the enterprise network. The VPN connection to the enterprise network is created and data is encrypted according to a VPN policy that is loaded when you connect to a VPN access point. Note: To use VPN, you need VPN policy server settings from your administrator.
3 When using an application, select a VPN access point to
connect to the enterprise network. See "VPN and applications" on page 10. A VPN connection is created on top of the Internet connection.

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.
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.
Creating VPN access points with default values

Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > VPN > VPN management > VPN policy servers. You install VPN policies from VPN policy servers. When you create a connection to a VPN access point, the VPN policy that is associated with the VPN access point is automatically updated from a VPN policy server. To update all VPN policies, synchronise the VPN policy servers with the mobile device. For more information, see "Synchronising VPN policy servers" on page 7.
Select a VPN policy server in the VPN policy servers view to view or change its settings. Select Policy server name to enter a new name for the policy server. The VPN policy servers view shows the new name.

If you have deleted all access points, you cannot save the settings.
Connecting to VPN policy servers
When you install VPN policies from a VPN policy server, you create a trust relationship between the mobile device and the VPN policy server. To create the trust relationship, you must authenticate the VPN policy server, and the VPN policy server must authenticate you. After the VPN policy server authenticates you, a private key is generated and a corresponding certificate is enrolled. The certificate authenticates you to the VPN policy server. The private key and certificate are stored in a key store on the mobile device.
