Virtual private networking 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. 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.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 119. Note: If you install VPN policies from SIS files, you do not have to create connections to VPN policy servers. 3 Install VPN policies from the VPN policy server. For more information, see "Installing VPN policies from VPN policy servers" on page 116. 4 Create VPN access points. Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved. 115
