Logging On to a VPN Site
If you chose automatic login, a VPN tunnel is created automatically when you try to access the
VPN site.
If you chose manual login, you need to log on to a VPN site every time you want to access the
VPN site.
You can log on to a VPN site either through the Nokia IP45 GUI or the
my.vpn
page. When you
log on, a VPN tunnel is established. Only the computer from which you logged on can use the
tunnel. To share the tunnel with other computers in your home network, you must log on to the
VPN site from those computers, using the same username and password.
Note
You can use a single username and password for each VPN destination gateway computer.

VPN Certificates
A secure means of authenticating the Nokia IP45 security platform to other VPN gateways is a
digital certificate. The Certificate Authority (CA) issues the certificate to entities such as
gateways, users or computers. The entity then uses the certificate to identify itself and provide
verifiable information. For instance, the certificate includes the distinguishing name (DN) of the
entity, as well as the public key (information about itself). After two entities exchange and
validate each other’s certificates, they can begin encrypting information between themselves by
using the public keys in the certificates.
IP45 v4.0 supports establishing certificates-based VPNs with multiple trusted CA. To use this
capability, IP45 must be managed by Smart Center.
Installing a Certificate
Nokia IP45 supports certificates encoded in the PKCS#12 format. You can install the VPN
certificate by:
±
Generating a self-signed certificate—you can generate a self-signed certificate by using the
Certificate wizard, supported by the IP45 GUI. See
“Generating a Self-Signed Certificate”
on page 275.
±
Importing a certificate—importing a certificate from a location. See
“Importing a
Certificate”
on page 277.
Note
The Nokia IP45 security platform supports certificates encoded in the personal information
exchange syntax standard (PKCS) format. The PKCS #12 file must have a .p12 file
extension. If you do not have a PKCS # 12, obtain it from your network security
administrator.

certificate. Do not use the same certificate for more than one gateway.

1.
Choose VPN from the IP45 main menu and click Certificate.
