7.2.5 VPN
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) enable you to use public networks, in particular the Internet, as
closed, company-internal networks. Data traffic in a VPN is protected against tapping and al-
teration by third parties.
VPNs can only be used if you have acquired the relevant licenses and have entered the valid
license keys for them (see Section 7.1.3.1, "Display Licenses").
Background information:
See Section 9.6, "SSL and VPN"
WBM path:
WBM > Explorers > Security > VPN
A menu containing the following entries is displayed when you right-click VPN.
> Display General Information
> Activate the Configured VPN Tables
> IPsec on/IPsec off
> Reset to insecure mode
VPN is displayed as an expandable folder. If IPsec is active (see Section 7.2.5.3, "IPsec on/
IPsec off"), the color of the folder icon is green; if IPsec is not active, the icon is red. Double-
click VPN in the tree structure to display the following entries:

> Tunnels
> Rules
> Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)#
The following steps explain how to configure the VPN and hence the secure mode.
1. Switch to secure administration (SSL) if this has not yet been done. For more information,
see Section 7.2.6.1, "Initial Configuration and Activation of SSL".
2. Generate or import the necessary certificates for authentication with digital signatures. For
more information, see Section 7.2.6.3, "Certificate Generation" and Section 7.2.6.11, "Cer-
tificate Management".
