Because Secure Computing products provide network security, we
recommend that, as the network administrator, you carefully oversee
the installation and configuration of the Soft-PK client(s). Setting up
VPN connections using Soft-PK and Sidewinder involves performing
procedures on each remote system running Soft-PK AND on your
Sidewinder.

the installation and configuration of the Soft-PK client(s). Setting up
VPN connections using Soft-PK and Sidewinder involves performing
procedures on each remote system running Soft-PK AND on your
Sidewinder.
If done properly, administrators can do most of the VPN configuration
for both Soft-PK and Sidewinder, with little required of the end users.
For example, you can set up the digital certificates and create a
security profile that you include with Soft-PK’s installation files. Users
then simply need to install Soft-PK and import a few files.

TIP: A separate Soft-PK User’s Guide is NOT provided for end users of Soft-PK. As an
administrator, you should use the worksheet provided on the SafeNet/Soft-PK CD-ROM (in
MS Word format) as the basis for providing the remote Soft-PK users with the appropriate
installation and setup instructions. This way, Soft-PK users are required to follow only the
instructions that have been customized for your firewall configuration. (Refer to Chapter 5,
"Deploying Soft-PK to Your End Users" for details about the worksheet.)
