How to setup PPTP VPN on Playbook


How to setup PPTP VPN on Playbook


Iam a new guy on playbook. I really like the look and feel of playbook. Before I purchased for 32GB playbook, I search the web and Iam sure that playbook support VPN connection.
But now I own a playbook, it is disappointed that Playbook does not support PPTP VPN. I really need it to work outside of company building.
Hopefully, the RIM corp will support all type of VPN. To make Playbook best in Play and Work

Device Setup 
-> Go to Settings
-> Navigate to “Security”
-> Add New VPN Profile
-> Specify & Add New VPN Profile Settings
1. Unfourtunately you can’t enter your dns name of your vpn. for example “myvpn.website.com”, you need to specify and IP address. To find this you need to go to http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php and type in your vpn domain name. This will give you an IP address to specify as the gateway address.
2 Ensure you select your VPN profile that matches your VPN technology.
-> Select an Authentication Type
Blackberry Playbook supports some of the best authentication types the industry has to offer. Do your homework which authentication type is suitable for your organisation or business.

Playbook VPN Authentication
Hybrid Auth and XAuth are extensions to the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol. IKE is an important element of PKI that defines how security credentials are exchanged over the IP Security (IPSec) tunneling protocol. Using IPSec with IKE, one of two types of authentication to access the network can be employed: preshared keys and digital certificates “Xauth PSK”. While preshared keys “PSK”, which are unique to each user, are fine when employed by a small number of users, deploying a unique key for each remote user in situations where there may be hundreds or thousands of remote users can be an administrative burden and a management nightmare.
-> Specify Authentication ID
This would be the username and password your IT Helpdesk has provided you with. You or your firewall team need to configure individual local access on the VPN gateway.
