Overview

VPN in zMan Director allows administrators to manage device-level VPN settings for selected zTC devices.

This workflow is used when a managed zTC device requires VPN configuration for secure network connectivity.

---

Device-Level VPN Management

VPN management is available from the device management workflow for selected zTC endpoints.

Administrators may use this feature to apply or manage VPN-related configuration for an individual device.

---

VPN Configuration

VPN configuration may be used when a zTC device needs to connect securely to a remote network or internal resource.

Depending on deployment configuration, VPN workflows may use files uploaded through Repository Management, such as OpenVPN configuration files.

---

OpenVPN Files

OpenVPN files can be uploaded through Repository Management and used in related deployment workflows.

OpenVPN configuration files typically use the following format:

• .ovpn

These files may contain VPN connection settings, certificates, and other information required to establish a secure VPN connection.

---

Operational Considerations

Before applying VPN configuration, administrators should verify:

• The correct VPN file or configuration is available
• The zTC device is online
• The device is communicating through zDM
• The VPN configuration matches the intended network environment
• Applying VPN settings will not interrupt required management connectivity

Notes

• VPN behavior may vary depending on device firmware and deployment configuration.
• OpenVPN files must be uploaded before they can be used in related workflows.
• Incorrect VPN configuration may affect device connectivity.
• VPN settings should be tested on a limited number of devices before broad deployment.
