Connecting to a virtual private network (VPN)
From your phone, you can add, set up, and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) that
allow you to connect and access resources inside a secured local network, such as your
corporate network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using at work, you may be required to enter
your login credentials and/or install security certificates before you can connect to your
company’s local network. You can get this information from your network administrator.
Also, your phone must first establish a Wi-Fi or data connection before you can initiate a
VPN connection. For information about setting up and using these connections on your
phone, see “Data connection” and “Wi-Fi” in this chapter.
Setting up secure credential storage
If your network administrator instructs you to download and install security certificates, you
must first set up the phone’s secure credential storage.
From the Home screen, press MENU, tap Settings > Security, and then tap Set password.
Enter a new password for the credential storage (at least 8 characters without any
spaces).
Scroll down and confirm the password, and then tap OK.
Select the Use secure credentials check box.
You can then download and install the certificates needed to access your local network. Your
network administrator can tell you how to do this.
Adding a VPN connection
From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tappress MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks >
VPN settings.
Tap Add VPN, and then tap the type of VPN you want to add.
Tap the VPN settings and set them up according to the security details you have obtained
from your network administrator.
Press MENU, and then tap Save.
The VPN is then added to the VPNs section of the VPN settings screen.
