How to Configure Nokia Secure Connector

As part of the Nokia Secure Access System, the Nokia Secure Connector provides an IPSec Client like behaviour but using SSL/TLS encryption. The Nokia Secure Connector is basically client software that has to be installed on the remote system. Its intent is to cover and secure the communication of all kind of Client - Server Applications. On the client workstation, the VPN client software looks like a normal Ethernet device (Windows can?t tell the difference). When the user logs into the VPN, the VPN client adjusts the routing tables on the client machine such that all traffic, or selected traffic, depending on configuration, is routed over the VPN connection, and the device becomes active and gets an IP address.
