VPN Client
The VPN Client establishes a virtual private network (VPN) connection on your phone when a phone is located
outside a trusted network or when network traffic crosses untrusted networks. Your system administrator
configures the VPN Client feature as needed.
If your phone is configured for VPN Client, the status of Auto-Detect Network Connection determines if a
VPN connection is possible. The status depends on the following situations:
•
When your phone is located outside the corporate network:
•
If Auto-Detect Network Connection is disabled, a VPN connection is possible. The Sign In screen
appears, and the phone prompts for credentials. On the phone in the VPN window (
Applications
>
VPN
), you can toggle the
VPN Enabled
field to control the ability of the phone to attempt a
VPN connection.
•
If Auto-Detect Network Connection is enabled, the Sign In screen appears, and the phone prompts
for your credentials, based on the authentication method that your system administrator configured
on your phone.
•
When your phone is located inside the corporate network:
•
If Auto-Detect Network Connection is disabled, a VPN connection is possible. The Sign In screen
appears, and the phone prompts for credentials. On the phone in the VPN window (
Applications
>
VPN
), you can toggle the
VPN Enabled
field to control the ability of the phone to attempt a
VPN connection.
•
If Auto-Detect Network Connection is enabled, you cannot connect through VPN, so the Sign In
screen does not appear, and the phone does not prompt for credentials.
