Synchronising VPN policy servers

To install and update policies from the VPN policy
server, select a VPN policy server and tap Synchronise.
VPN client connects to the VPN policy server to check
whether administrators added, updated, or deleted VPN
policies.

versions of VPN policies, the VPN policies are installed on
the smartphone. If administrators deleted VPN policies
from the VPN policy server, the VPN policies are removed
from the smartphone.
Note: When you synchronise a VPN policy server for
the first time, matching VPN access points are created
for each policy that you install on the smartphone. VPN
access points combine VPN policies with Internet
access points. When you connect to a VPN policy server
to install or update VPN policies, you might need to
enroll VPN certificates from the VPN policy server.

certificate and sends the request to the VPN policy server.
The VPN policy server enrolls each requested certificate
from a certification authority and returns it to VPN client.

certificate contain the identity of the user. Depending on
the VPN policy server configuration, the VPN policy server
user identity might be used as the user identity in VPN
certificates. If this is not possible, VPN management

To create certification requests, in the
identity dialog, enter your certificate user identity for
the specified domain in User identity:
