Starting a tunnel with a profile

You can configure IPSec and SSL tunnels with a profile when you want to create a tunnel to connect to a VPN server. Parameters required for the tunnel creation are collected from the profile name specified in the command line switch. At the same time, you have the option to override parameters available in the profile by using command line switches. You cannot override the tunnel type and authentication type in profile based tunnels.

To configure a tunnel with a profile, enter the following command:

nvc.exe {-profile <profile name> | -userprofile <profile name>} {-auth <authentication type>} [-serverip <server ip>] [-user <username>] [-pwd <password>] [-pwd2 <password2>] [-gid <gid>] [-gpwd <group password>] [-pin <PIN>] [-code <tokenCode>] [-altname <subj-alt-name>] [-alttype <number>] [-s] [-fs] [-hidetrayicon]

Use the information in the following table to tunnel with a profile.
