About VPN profiles

A VPN profile contains the information that you require to log in to a VPN. If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® device and if your
organization uses a VPN to control access to its network, you might be able to log in to the VPN and access your organization's network using
a Wi-Fi network. Depending on your organization, you might have more than one VPN profile on your device. For more information about VPN
profiles, contact your administrator.

Prerequisites: Logging in to a VPN

Your email account must use a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that supports this feature. For more information, contact your administrator.

If you have a Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry device, the Wi-Fi network that your device is connected to must support connections to a VPN.
For more information, contact your administrator.

If you use a software token to log in to a VPN, the software token must be on your device and the software token information that appears
in the VPN profile must be correct.
