Logging off a VPN Site
You need to manually log off a VPN site if the VPN site is a Remote Access
VPN site configured for Manual Login.
To log off a VPN site
• In the VPN Login Status box, click Logout.
All open tunnels from the Safe@Office appliance to the VPN site are
closed, and the VPN Login Status box closes.
Note: Closing the browser or dismissing the VPN Login Status box will also
terminate the VPN session within a short time.
Installing a Certificate
A digital certificate is a secure means of authenticating the Safe@Office
appliance to other VPN gateways. The certificate is issued by the Certificate
Authority (CA) 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)
(identifying information) 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 using
the public keys in the certificates.
The Safe@Office appliance supports certificates encoded in the PKCS#12
(Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard) format. The PKCS#12 file
must have a ".p12" file extension
