User Interface Components
The VPN Client configuration is defined in a VPN configuration file. You can create, modify, 
save, export, or import the VPN configuration together with security elements such as a 
pre-shared key or certificates. You can also configure the VPN client to start and stop tunnels 
automatically, depending on traffic to certain destinations.
The user interface consists of the following components:
VPN Configuration Panel that you use to specify VPN settings
VPN Connection Panel that lets you open and close tunnels that you configured
System tray icon and pop-up windows to view and manage the VPN tunnel status
For information about how to control the user interface display for end users, see
