The further options in the following table might be displayed, which depends on the connection type that you selected. See your VPN server documentation for more information.

Option	More information	Connection type
Realm	Specify the name of the authentication realm that you want to use. An authentication realm is a grouping of authentication resources that is used by the Pulse Secure connection type.	Pulse Secure
Role	Specify the name of the user role that has access to this connection.	Pulse Secure
Login group or domain	Specify the name of the login group or domain that you want to connect to.	Dell SonicWALL Mobile Connect
Fingerprint	Specify a string, for example "Contoso Fingerprint Code" that will be used to verify the VPN server can be trusted. A fingerprint can be: Sent to the client so it knows to trust any server presenting that same fingerprint when connecting. If the device doesn’t already have the fingerprint it will prompt the user to trust the VPN server they are connecting to while showing the fingerprint (the user manually verifies the fingerprint and clicks trust to connect).	Check Point Mobile VPN
Send all network traffic through the VPN connection	If this option is not selected, you can specify additional routes for the connection (for Microsoft SSL (SSTP), Microsoft Automatic, IKEv2, PPTP and L2TP connection types), which is known as split or VPN tunneling. Only connections to the company network are sent over a VPN tunnel. VPN tunneling is not used when you connect to resources on the Internet.	All
Connection specific DNS suffix	Optionally, specify the connection-specific Domain Name System (DNS) suffix for the connection.	Microsoft SSL (SSTP) Microsoft Automatic IKEv2 PPTP L2TP
Bypass VPN when connected to company Wi-Fi network	Specifies that the VPN connection will not be used when the device is connected to the company Wi-Fi network.

  Depending on the options you select, you might be asked to specify further information, such as:

    - **Remember the user credentials at each logon**: Select this option to ensure that the user credentials are remembered so that the user does not have to enter credentials each time a connection is established.

    - **Select a client certificate for client authentication** - Select the client SCEP certificate that you previously created that will be used to authenticate the VPN connection. For more information about how to use certificate profiles in Configuration Manager, see [Certificate Profiles in Configuration Manager](dn261202\(v=technet.10\).md).

      <div class="alert">


      > [!NOTE]
      > <P>For iOS devices, the SCEP profile you select will be embedded in the VPN profile. For other platforms, an applicability rule is added to ensure that the VPN profile is not installed if the certificate is not present, or not compliant.</P>
      > <P>If the SCEP certificate you specify is not compliant, or has not been deployed, then the VPN profile will not be installed on the device.</P>


      </div>

    - For some authentication methods, you can click **Configure** to open the Windows properties dialog box (if the version of Windows on which you are running the Configuration Manager console supports this authentication method) where you can configure the properties of the authentication method.

  <div class="alert">


  > [!NOTE]
  > <P>Devices that run iOS support only <STRONG>RSA SecurID</STRONG> and <STRONG>MSCHAP v2</STRONG> for the authentication method when the connection type is <STRONG>PPTP</STRONG>. To avoid reporting errors, deploy a separate PPTP VPN profile to devices that run iOS.</P>


  </div>

Step 5: Configure Proxy Settings for the VPN Profile

To configure proxy settings for the VPN profile

On the Proxy Settings page of the Create VPN Profile Wizard, select the Configure proxy settings for this VPN profile check box if your VPN connection uses a proxy server.
Specify details about your proxy server and its settings. For more information, see the Windows Server documentation.

Step 6: Configure Further DNS Settings (if required)

On the Configure Automatic VPN connection page of the wizard, you can configure the following settings:

Enable VPN on-demand – Select this option if you want to configure further DNS settings on this page of the wizard for Windows Phone 8.1 devices.

Note

This setting applies only to Windows Phone 8.1 devices and should only enabled on VPN profiles that are going to be deployed to Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
DNS Suffix list (for Windows Phone 8.1 devices only) – Configures domains that will establish a VPN connection. For each domain you specify, add the DNS suffix, the DNS server address, and one of the following on-demand actions:
- Never establish – Never open a VPN connection
- Establish if needed – Only open a VPN connection if the device needs to connect to resources
- Always establish – Always open the VPN connection
Merge – Copies any DNS suffices you configured into the Trusted network list.
Trusted network list (for Windows Phone 8.1 devices only) - Specify one DNS suffix on each line. If the device is in a trusted network, the VPN connection will not be opened.
Suffix search list (for Windows Phone 8.1 devices only) - Specify one DNS suffix on each line. Each DNS suffix you specify will be searched when connecting to a website using a short name.

For example, you specify the DNS suffices domain1.contoso.com and domain2.contoso.com and then visit the URL http://mywebsite. The following addresses will be searched:
- http://mywebsite.domain1.contoso.com
- http://mywebsite.domain2.contoso.com

Note

For Windows Phone 8.1 devices only

If the Send all network traffic through the VPN connection option is selected, and the VPN connection is using full tunneling, for the first profile provisioned on the device, the VPN connection will automatically open. If you want a different profile to automatically open a connection, you must make it the default profile on the device.

If the Send all network traffic through the VPN connection option is not selected, and the VPN connection is using split-tunneling, a VPN connection can automatically be opened if you configure routes, or a connection specific DNS suffix.

Step 7: Configure Supported Platforms for the VPN Profile

Use the following procedure to specify the supported platforms for the VPN profile.

Supported platforms are the operating systems on which the VPN profile will be installed.

To specify supported platforms for the VPN Profile

On the Supported Platforms page of the Create VPN Profile Wizard, select the operating systems on which the VPN profile will be installed, or click Select all to install the VPN profile on all available operating systems.

Step 8: Complete the Wizard

On the Summary page of the wizard, review the actions to be taken, and then complete the wizard. The new VPN profile is displayed in the VPN Profiles node in the Assets and Compliance workspace.

For information about how to deploy the VPN profile, see How to Deploy VPN Profiles in Configuration Manager.
