Setting Up a Mac User’s VPN Connection
You can use Server Preferences to generate a file that Mac users can open to create a
VPN configuration automatically. Then a user can make a VPN connection to the server
and its network via the Internet. The configuration file works with Mac OS X v10.3 or
later. For information about generating the configuration file, see page 126.
When you give Mac users a VPN configuration file you have generated, you can also
give them the following instructions for using it.
