Using Digital Certificates
The VPN Client works with Certificate Authorities (CAs) that support SCEP, manual enrollment, or
PKCS import.
Each time you establish a VPN connection using a certificate, the VPN Client verifies that your
certificate is not expired.
•
Valid— A message appears that indicates the validation period for this certificate.
•
Expired—A warning appears that indicates when the certificate expired.
Each digital certificate is protected by a password. If the connection entry you are using requires a digital
certificate for authentication, the VPN Certificate Authentication dialog box appears (
Figure 5-8
).
