VPN administration

By using access policies in the remote access server infrastructure, your system administrator can configure virtual private network (VPN) user settings that significantly tighten security measures, such as required levels of data and password encryption and authentication. These requirements can be applied to individual users, or to a group (or profile) of similar users. For example, a system administrator can configure remote access dial-in settings to define a group profile such that all users who are assigned to that profile are required to authenticate by using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and encrypt their data by using strong (128-bit) data encryption. By assigning a user to the group profile, these security measures are automatically required when anyone in that group profile connects to the remote access server.

You should configure your VPN connection to match the policies that your network administrator established. For information about configuring connections, see Configure a connection to a remote network.
