Distributing Customized Profiles
A customized installation is the standard client installation package modified to include a security
policy, a CA certificate, and perhaps a personal certificate. If preshared keys are to be employed,
you can include these instead of CA and personal certificates. Because personal certificates are
unique to each individual, a single personal certificate cannot be distributed to multiple users.
Adding these entities to the basic client installation package can facilitate managing corporate
security policies for multiple users. You can create multiple customized installations for users with
different security needs.
The customized installation package options are presented below.
Create a Customized Installation Containing a Security
Policy
1. Configure the security policy for the users.
Note: If you want users to employ preshared keys instead of certificates, configure one in My
Identity for the security policy.
2. Export the security policy; name the file IPSecPolicy.spd.
3. Add the IPSecPolicy.spd file to the NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Client installation directory.
4. Deploy this customized installation to users on a network drive, Web site, CD-ROM, or other
location or medium, such as a directory or .zip or .exe file.
5. Make sure that the users have installation instructions and the specific information they need
to either use preshared keys or obtain a CA certificate and personal certificate. Help topics
describe these tasks.
