Android device settings to configure VPN in Intune

This article describes the different VPN connection settings you can control on Android devices. As part of your mobile device management (MDM) solution, use these settings to create a VPN connection, choose how the VPN authenticates, select a VPN server type, and more.

This feature applies to:

  • Android device administrator (DA)

As an Intune administrator, you can create and assign VPN settings to Android devices. To learn more about VPN profiles in Intune, go to VPN profiles.

Important

Microsoft Intune is ending support for Android device administrator management on devices with access to Google Mobile Services (GMS) on December 31, 2024. After that date, device enrollment, technical support, bug fixes, and security fixes will be unavailable. If you currently use device administrator management, we recommend switching to another Android management option in Intune before support ends. For more information, see Ending support for Android device administrator on GMS devices.

Before you begin

Base VPN

  • Connection name: Enter a name for this connection. End users see this name when they browse their device for the available VPN connections. For example, enter Contoso VPN.

  • VPN server address: Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the VPN server that devices connect. For example, enter 192.168.1.1 or vpn.contoso.com.

  • Authentication method: Select how devices authenticate to the VPN server. Your options:

    • Certificates: Select an existing SCEP or PKCS certificate profile to authenticate the connection. Configure certificates lists the steps to create a certificate profile.

    • Username and password: When users sign into the VPN server, they're prompted to enter their user name and password.

      For more information, go to Use derived credentials in Intune.

  • Connection type: Select the VPN connection type. Your options:

    • Check Point Capsule VPN
    • Cisco AnyConnect
    • SonicWall Mobile Connect
    • F5 Access
    • Pulse Secure
    • Citrix SSO
  • Fingerprint (Check Point Capsule VPN only): Enter the fingerprint string given to you by the VPN vendor, like Contoso Fingerprint Code. This fingerprint verifies that the VPN server can be trusted.

    When authenticating, a fingerprint is sent to the client so the client knows to trust any server that has the same fingerprint. If the device doesn't have the fingerprint, it prompts the user to trust the VPN server while showing the fingerprint. The user manually verifies the fingerprint, and chooses to trust to connect.
