About VPN profiles

A VPN profile contains the information that you require to log on to a VPN. If your organisation uses a VPN to control access to its network,
you might be able to log on to the VPN and access your organisation's network using a Wi-Fi® network. Depending on your organisation,
you might have more than one VPN profile on your BlackBerry® device. For more information about VPN profiles, contact your administrator.

Prerequisites: Logging on to a VPN

• Verify that your BlackBerry® device is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports

this feature. For more information, contact your administrator.

• Check that the Wi-Fi® network that your device is connected to supports connections to a VPN. For more information, contact

your administrator.

• If you use a software token to log on to a VPN, check that the software token is on your device and that the software token

information that appears in the VPN profile is correct.
