NetExtender is an SRA client for Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android smartphone users that is downloaded transparently and allows you to run any application securely on the company’s network. It uses Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). NetExtender allows remote clients to have seamless access to resources on your local network.
Users can access NetExtender two ways: Using the Net Extender button on the SRA user portal, or by using the NetExtender standalone client, which is installed by clicking on the NetExtender button in the SRA Web-based management interface. The NetExtender standalone client application can be accessed directly from the Windows Start menu, from the Application folder or dock on Mac systems, by pathname or from the shortcut bar on Linux systems, and with the icon on Android smartphones.
The SRA appliance supports client certificates in both the standalone Windows NetExtender client and the NetExtender Mobile client.
On Windows systems, NetExtender supports establishing a VPN session before logging in to Windows. NetExtender supports IPv6 client connections from Windows systems running Vista or newer, and from Linux clients. An IPv6 address pool for NetExtender is optional, while an IPv4 address pool is necessary.
