Understanding Digital Certificates

If digital certificates are required as part of your VPN connection policy, your gateway administrator must provide you with the required information to import the certificate. You then need to import the certificate in the Global VPN Client using the Certificate Manager.

Alert! If digital certificates are required as part of your VPN connection policy, your VPN gateway administrator must provide you with the required certificates.

Note! For instructions on importing a certificate into the Global VPN Client, see “Managing Certificates” on page 30.

Using the New Connection Wizard

The New Connection Wizard provides easy configuration for the following VPN connection scenarios:

•Remote Access - You choose this scenario if you want secure access to a remote VPN gateway from any wired or wireless network. The most common use of this scenario is when you are at home or on the road and want access to the corporate network. You enter the IP address or FQDN (gateway.yourcompany.com) of the VPN gateway and the Global VPN Client automatically downloads the VPN connection policy from the remote

SonicWALL VPN gateway.

Alert! If you are configuring the Global VPN Client for Remote Access, make sure you have the IP address or FQDN (gateway.yourcompany.com) of the remote SonicWALL VPN gateway and an active Internet connection before using the New Connection Wizard.

•Office Gateway - You choose this scenario if you want secure access to a local SonicWALL Secure Wireless appliance network. When you create an Office Gateway VPN connection, it appears as the Peer entry of <Default Gateway> in the SonicWALL Global VPN Client window. You can use this single Office Gateway VPN connection policy to roam securely across SonicWALL Secure Wireless appliance networks.

Alert! If you are configuring the Global VPN Client for Office Gateway, make sure your wireless card is configured with the correct SSID information to access the SonicWALL Secure Wireless appliance before using the New Connection Wizard.
