Add a policy server

The policy server is installed during the installation of the VPNmanager Console. The policy
server distributes configuration and security policies. The VPNmanager console is a client that
communicates with the policy server to retrieve security policies. The policy server then
communicates with the directory server.

You add the policy server address the first time you login into the VPNmanager Console.

1. From the VPNmanager Login dialog, click Add.

2. Enter the name that identifies the Policy Server, if available. This is the “user friendly name”
