2.5 Setting Up Mobile User Devices

Mobile devices use native Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to connect to Corente Services Gateways. You do not need to install separate software on mobile devices.

Mobile users with Microsoft Windows devices must install the Corente Client Software.

2.5.1 Ports for Mobile User Connections

Traffic between Mobile Users and Corente Services Gateways occurs on the following ports:

  • UDP port 500

  • UDP port 4500

2.5.2 Installing the Corente Client Software

Mobile Users with Microsoft Windows devices must install the Corente Client. The Corente Client is a lightweight agent that uses native IPSec functionality in the Windows operating system (OS) to securely connect to Corente Services Gateways.

Note

You must configure the Windows Helper App Settings section for Mobile User accounts in App Net Manager, otherwise those Mobile Users cannot use the Corente Client.

After you add Mobile Users, they receive notification emails to download the installation program for Corente Client from the following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/corente/downloads/index.html

The installation program for the Corente Client is CorenteClient.exe. A user with administrative privileges on either the local device or the domain must run the installation program. You should ensure that Microsoft Windows User Account Control (UAC) settings on the device do not prevent you from installing the Corente Client as an administrator.

2.5.3 Providing Mobile Users with Information

For Mobile Users to connect to your Corente Services network, you must provide them with the following information:

  • Shared secret, or IPSec pre-shared key (PSK), for both mobile devices and the Corente Client.

    As a security best practice, you should not transmit the shared secret over the Internet. See the Corente Services Security Guide for more information.

  • Password, if you do not use an external authentication provider. You must always define passwords for the Corente Client.

  • Server address for Mobile Users to specify when they configure connection details in the the Corente Client.
