ZENworks® ESM 3.5

Advanced VPN controls are used to set Authentication Timeouts to secure against VPN failure, 
connect commands for client-based VPNs, and Adapter controls to control the adapters permitted 
VPN access.

To access this control, open the Global Policy Settings tab, click the “+” symbol next to VPN 
Enforcement, and click the Advanced icon in the policy tree on the left

Administrators can place the endpoint in a secured firewall setting (the firewall setting of the 
"Switch To Location" - see above), to secure against any failure of VPN connectivity. The 
Authentication Timeout is the amount of time the ZSC will wait to gain authentication to the VPN 
server. It is recommended this parameter be set above 1 minute to allow authentication over 
slower connections.

When using the Authentication timer, Connect and Disconnect commands are used to control 
client-based VPN activation. Enter the location of the VPN client and the required switches in the 
Parameters fields. The Disconnect command is optional, and provided for VPN clients that 
require the user disconnects before they log-off the network.
