Point-to-site connection parameters

In the backup console (Devices > Cloud recovery site > VPN settings), click the gear icon on the VPN server image. The software displays the user name that is set for the point-to-site connection and the following menu items.

Download configuration for OpenVPN

This will download the configuration file for the OpenVPN client. The file is required to establish a point-to-site connection to the cloud recovery site.

Change credentials

You can change the user name and/or password that are used for the point-to-site connection.

This is required in the following cases:

• During the initial configuration of the point-to-site connection.
• To perform a planned password change according to the security policy set in your organization.
• In order to restrict access to the cloud recovery site for some users (for example, former employees).

After the credentials have been changed, make sure to inform the users that they need to use different credentials.

Re-generate config file

You can re-generate the configuration file for the OpenVPN client.

This is required in the following cases:

• If the VPN client certificate is about to expire. To view the expiration date, click the (i) icon on the VPN server image.
• If you suspect that the configuration file is compromised.

As soon as the configuration file is updated, the connection by means of the old configuration file becomes not possible. Make sure to distribute the new file among the users who are allowed to use the point-to-site connection.
