Making VPN basic settings

VPN basic settings
OpenVPN is a program for establishing an encrypted TLS connection. OpenSSL is used for
the encryption.
OpenVPN file
When creating a device or a user, a configuration file with the extension *.ovpn is generated
automatically. The file contains various parameters required for a connection to the server.
These include e.g. the certificates; refer to the section "Overview of certificate management
(Page 87)".
The file must be loaded on the participant in the remote network to which the SINEMA RC
Server establishes a VPN connection.
The SINEMA RC Client always fetches this data automatically. The S615 either fetches the
data automatically or the file must be loaded. This depends on the configuration.
Downloading an OpenVPN file
For devices, the file is called in the device list; refer to the section "Overview of device
management (Page 65)".
For users, the file is called in the personal user account (see section "User certificate
(Page 104)").
