Creating or changing a key store
password
You create a key store password when you install the first
VPN policy. Create key store passwords that are long and
difficult enough to help protect the information in the
smartphone. If the key store password is broken, the
enterprise network might be exposed to unauthorised
access.
Tip:
A key store password must be at least six
characters long and can contain letters, numbers, and
special characters.
To change the key store password,
tap

.
Entering key store passwords
You must enter the key store password when you:
•
Install new or updated VPN policies from VPN policy
servers.
•
Use applications to connect to VPN access points that
require certificate authentication.
Using VPN with applications
When you use an application to create a connection to a
VPN access point, the smartphone:
•
Connects to the Internet access point that is
associated with the VPN access point.
•
Loads the VPN policy that is associated with the VPN
access point.
•
Connects to a VPN gateway to create a VPN
connection.
Authenticating to VPN gateways
You need to prove your identity when you log on to the
enterprise VPN. The VPN policy determines the
authentication method that you use:
•
Certificate-based authentication — you must have a
certificate that a trusted certification authority signs.
You use online certificate enrollment to obtain the
certificate or you install certificates when you install
the VPN policy from a SIS file.
•
Legacy authentication — you use user names and
passwords or passcodes to authenticate.
Administrators create the user names and passwords
or give you SecurID tokens to generate the passcodes.
If you use certificates for authentication,
enter the
key store password.
If you use legacy authentication,
enter VPN
authentication information when you use applications to
