The Nokia mobile virtual private network (VPN) client
creates a secure connection to compatible corporate
intranet and services, such as e-mail. Your device connects
from a mobile network, through the internet, to a
corporate VPN gateway that acts as a front door to the
compatible corporate network. VPN client uses IP Security
(IPSec) technology. IPSec is a framework of open standards
for supporting secure exchange of data over IP networks.
VPN policies define the method used by the VPN client and
a VPN gateway to authenticate each other, and the
encryption algorithms that they use to help protect the
confidentiality of data. Contact your company's IT
department for a VPN policy.
To install and configure the VPN client, certificates, and
policies, contact the IT administrator of your organisation.
