Updating VPN policies When you create a connection to a VPN access point, VPN client checks the status of the VPN policy that is associated with the VPN access point from the VPN policy server. If administrators created a new version of the VPN policy, the new version is installed on the smartphone. If administrators deleted the VPN policy from the VPN policy server, the VPN policy is removed from the smartphone. 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 VPN management. 118 Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
