VPN Client

The VPN Client establishes a virtual private network (VPN) connection on your phone when a phone is located
outside a trusted network or when network traffic crosses untrusted networks. Your system administrator

VPN connection is possible. The status depends on the following situations:
• When your phone is located outside the corporate network:

.
• If Auto-Detect Network Connection is disabled, a VPN connection is possible. The Sign In screen
appears, and the phone prompts for credentials. On the phone in the VPN window ( Applications
> VPN), you can toggle the VPN Enabled field to control the ability of the phone to attempt a
VPN connection.
• If Auto-Detect Network Connection is enabled, the Sign In screen appears, and the phone prompts
for your credentials, based on the authentication method that your system administrator configured
on your phone.
• If Auto-Detect Network Connection is disabled, a VPN connection is possible. The Sign In screen
appears, and the phone prompts for credentials. On the phone in the VPN window (Applications
> VPN), you can toggle the VPN Enabled field to control the ability of the phone to attempt a
VPN connection.
• If Auto-Detect Network Connection is enabled, you cannot connect through VPN, so the Sign In
screen does not appear, and the phone does not prompt for credentials.
