How to do VPN Configuration programmatically on S60 devices ?

#1 07-18-2008, 08:05 AM

Hi,

I would like to programmatically configure VPN connection on Symbian s60 th=
ird edition devices?
Please advise me how to proceed this and step by step procedures.

1. Do i need to install any particular software for this (or) is there any =
built-in VPN software available on series 60 thrid edition devices?

2. If i need to install software separately and then configure VPN programm=
atically is possible, how to do that?

3. There is no chance to programmatically do configure VPN connection on th=
ese device and it can be done thru only software manually?

Please send me the steps in step by step, so that i can create a sample and=
try this?

It would be appreciated if i get help as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Prabu.

Some S60 devices have a Nokia mobile VPN client, some don't (on those it ha=
s to be installed separately).

For S60 3rd Ed. FP1 devices Nokia has also released a new VPN client and a =
Windows based tool to create configuration files/policies for it. For earli=
er versions, it isn't that easy, as you can read up here (a thread with alm=
ost 300 posts):

As far as I know, there are no published APIs to do the configurations for =
any version on the device with your own app.

I just wanted make sure that configuring it programmatically option is not =
available only for S60 based devices (or) all Symbian devices?

I have not seen any published documentation that would indicate that it is =
possible to do programmatically.

You may ask Nokia via the S60 API partnering program/process:
