VPN Client allows you to assign a user certificate to a VPN tunnel.
There can be only one certificate per tunnel, but each tunnel can have its own certificate.
VPN Client allows you to select a certificate stored:
- In the VPN Configuration file (see "Import Certificate")
- In the Windows certificate store (see "Windows Certificate Store")
- On a Smartcard or a token (see "Configure a Smartcard or Token")
The "Certificate" tab will list all relevant media available on the computer, which contain certificates. If a media
does not have a certificate, it is not displayed in the list (e.g. if the VPN Configuration file contains no certificate, it
does not appear in the list).
By clicking one of the media, the list of certificates it contains is displayed.
Click on the desired certificate to assign to the VPN tunnel.
