You must first connect using the Web SSL VPN.
Step 1
Enter the URL and login
Step 2
The SSL VPN requires the installation of the activex control NetExtender.
Windows clients must meet the following prerequisites in order to install NetExtender:
• Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP Home or Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000/2003/2008 Server.
• Internet Explorer 5.0.1 and greater or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 and greater.
• To initially install the NetExtender client, the user must be logged in to the PC with administrative privileges.
• Downloading and running scripted ActiveX files must be enabled on Internet Explorer.
• If the SSL-VPN gateway uses a self-signed SSL certificate for HTTPS authentication, then it is necessary to install the certificate before establishing a NetExtender connection. If you are unsure whether the certificate is self-signed or generated by a trusted root Certificate Authority, SonicWALL recommends that you import the certificate. The easiest way to import the certificate is to click the Import Certificate button at the bottom of the Virtual Office home page.
Internet Explorer Prerequisites
It is recommended that you add the URL or domain name of your SSL-VPN server to Internet Explorer’s trusted sites list. This will simplify the process of installing NetExtender and logging in, by reducing the number of security warnings you will receive. To add a site to Internet Explorer’s trusted sites list, complete the following procedure:
Step a In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options.
Step b Click on the Security tab.
Step c Click on the Trusted Sites icon and click on the Sites... button to open the Trusted sites window.
Step d Enter the URL or domain name of your SSL-VPN server in the Add this Web site to the zone field and click Add.
Step f Click OK in the Trusted Sites and Internet Options windows
Step 3
Click the NetExtender button
Step 4
