Virtual Private Networks (VPN) are often used within organizations to allow you to communicate private information securely over a public network. You must configure VPN, for example, to access your work email account on an iOS device. VPN works over dial-up (including broadband), LAN, and mobile connections. The Cloud Edge gateway uses an IPsec connection and no agent is needed for mobile devices.
Use the VPN Portal to customize the message that appears when VPN users submit their credentials to access VPN.
The Cloud Edge gateway validates the user name and password against existing hosted users or entries in the LDAP server. If successfully authenticated, the Cloud Edge gateway adds the IP address-to-user mapping to local cache for the time-to-live (TTL) life cycle. If authentication fails, the user is notified that authentication was not successful.
