iOS and VPN
Hello Experts,
We are tasked with integrating iPads to our current network. We already have a VPN in place and are able to view our shares off our server from windows based laptops. With the task at hand we are looking to have shortcut icons on the new iPads that will take our end-users to one share only to view a particular set of large scale documents. The permissions part is all to easy to figure out but when it comes to iOS none of us have very much experience. After connecting the mobile devices to the VPN what would be the best way to accomplish our goal of easy singe icon access to the share of documents?
Thank you,

Depending on the Router establishing the VPN, there most likely is an app by the company already on the APP store. You can check with the brand of router support or look it up on the app store to see if its available. Example: Firewall is a Sonicwall, you can download the Sonicwall Mobile Connect app and setup the connection etc.

Thank you for your advice Nick. WatchGuard does have a app for our devices but its not really for viewing shares from our server.
VPN is just to establish the connection. You would then use something like FileBrowser or fileexplorer app (I believe is free) to browse your shares. Sorry I should have mentioned that :)

Correct, we know that. Maybe I haven't worded the question correctly. The issue we are having is accessing the file shares from the iPads after they are connected to the network. FileBrowser is a free app in the play store but in the app store for apple. is there not a solution made by apple for this situation?
