equinux VPN Tracker 5.4.4 - Manual (Page 15)

Assisted Setup
If you don’t have access to the VPN gateway
yourself, you depend on the help of your IT
department to configure a connection.
Using a Deployment Bundle
Ideally, your IT department will provide a deployment bundle
which makes installing, activating and configuring a one-step
process. Please refer to “Installing a Deployment Bundle” for
details.
Instructions on how to create deployment bundles can be
found in “Exporting Connections”.
Importing a Connection Profile
In many cases, your IT department will provide a VPN Tracker
profile for you to import. Such a profile can be exported from
VPN Tracker Professional, as described in “Exporting
Connections”.
To import a connection profile:
‣ Double-click the connection file
You will be asked for a decryption password. This password is
set (and revealed to you) by your network administrator. It is
set specifically for the connection profile, and is not necessarily
identical to your normal login password for company network
services (see the “IPSec Explained: Authentication” section in
this manual).
‣ Enter the decryption password provided by your IT
department
That’s it. The new connection will appear in your connection
list. Please skip ahead to “Managing and Using Connections“.
Manual Configuration
If your company’s IT department is not Mac-based, you will
usually get information such as a pre-shared key, the VPN
gateway address and a pointer to a Windows-based VPN client.
To connect to your office using VPN Tracker, you need to
obtain at least the following:
‣ The vendor and model name of the VPN gateway
‣ A pre-shared key (or certificates)
‣ The VPN gateway address
In many cases, you will also need
‣ The remote network
