Enabling the VPN Client

After applying a VPN Client license to one or more SonicWALL appliances, complete the following steps:

1	Navigate to Policies > VPN > Summary.

2	Click Export next to the SA.

 

3	To email the SPD file to the SonicWALL GMS administrator or the VPN Client user, click Email SPD file. The file is attached to the email. A task is scheduled for each email.

NOTE: A copy of the SPD file is also stored in the SonicWALL Agent's <gms_directory\etc directory.

4	After the SPD file is received, it can be loaded by the VPN Client software on the VPN Client user's computer.

5	If the user does not have the VPN Client software, you can send both the SPD file and the email the client software by clicking Email SPD File and VPN Client.

6	In SonicOS Standard only, VPN clients use RCF files to import data used to communicate with SonicWALL appliances. To send an RCF File to an email address, enter the following information:

•	Enter the email address in the Email Address field.

•	Enter and reenter the RCF File password in the RCF File Export Password and Confirm Password fields.

•	Select whether the file will be used for WAN or wireless connections.

•	Select from the following:

•	To email the file, click Email RCF File.

•	To email the file with the Global VPN Client software, click Email RCF File and Global VPN Client.

NOTE: Before the VPN client can be emailed to users, it must be downloaded to the <gms_directory>\etc directory from mysonicwall.com.
