Other Day-to-Day Considerations
Using Certificates in Connections
If your connection uses certificates for authentication, keep in mind that the
certificates are not included with the exported connection. You’ll need to dis-
tribute the certificates as you would normally do.
VPN Tracker will automatically attempt to use the same certificates on the
Mac the connection is imported on. If they are not available, the user will be
prompted to select new certificates. For additional information, please refer to
→ Certificates.
Overwriting Existing Connections
If you have made changes to an connection that you already distributed to
your users earlier, it’s a good idea to re-use the same connection when ex-
porting (don’t create a new one).
That way your users will be prompted to replace their existing connection
with the updated one, instead of ending up with another copy, and in the end
not knowing which connection is the current one.
Deploying Connections
To make things as easy as possible for your users, you can create a custom
version of the VPN Tracker application that includes your connections and a
license. That way, your VPN users will have everything they need.
Before Deployment
Before beginning deployment, make sure your connection works and that you
can access the network resources your users will need. Also configure your
export settings, and don’t forget to add your internal IT help-desk email ad-
dress, so your users’ Technical Support Reports are sent directly to you, should
there be any problems.
Select a connection to deploy
‣ Select the connection you want to deploy in the connection list
‣ Select “File > Prepare Deployment”
‣ Choose where you would like to store the disk images that contain the cus-
tom VPN Tracker application
‣ Enter an import password and confirm it. This is the password your users
will need to enter before they can use the included connection.
