VPN settings overview
VPN is a technology that creates a secure network connection over a public network. A mobile device uses a VPN client to securely access protected corporate networks.
To use VPN:
You determine how the user obtains the VPN client app. You can, for example, add the app as a Google Play Store app to the App Catalog. See “Managing Mobile Apps for Android” in the Apps@Work Guide.
| NOTE: | If the device has a VPN already set on the device before installing the VPN client app, Mobile@Work displays an error message. The message instructs the device user to install the VPN client app before setting the VPN connection setting. |
- Define a VPN setting in Core.
- Apply labels to the VPN setting so that the VPN setting is sent to the appropriate devices.
- Depending on the type of VPN, additional set up steps may be required to complete the VPN configuration.
