Configuring a BorderManager VPN

To configure a BorderManager virtual private network (VPN), the administrator of the master server and the administrator of the slave server complete the following steps:

1. The administrator of the master server uses Novell's NIASCFG utility to generate encryption information for the master server.

2. The administrator of the master server sends the master server's encryption information to the administrator of the slave server.

3. The administrator of the slave server calls the administrator of the master server to verify that the master server's encryption information is authentic and unchanged.

4. The administrator of the slave server uses the master server's encryption information and the NIASCFG utility to generate encryption information for the slave server.

5. The administrator of the slave server sends the slave server's encryption information to the administrator of the master server.

6. The administrator of the master server calls the administrator of the slave server to verify that the slave server's encryption information is authentic and unchanged.

7. The administrator of the master server launches Novell's NetWare Administrator (NWADMIN) utility and opens the VPN Master Server object in the Novell Directory Services (NDS) tree.

8. The administrator of the master server adds the slave server to this object's list of VPN members and synchronizes the configuration information on all BorderManager VPN servers, which can then establish a tunnel.
