Entering a Pre-Shared Key

Depending on the attributes for the VPN connection policy, if no default Pre-Shared Key is used, you must have a Pre-Shared Key provided by the gateway administrator in order to make your VPN connection. If the default Pre-Shared Key is not included as part of the connection policy download or file, the Enter Pre-Shared Key dialog box appears to prompt you for the Pre-Shared key before establishing the VPN connection.

1.Type your Pre-Shared Key in the Pre-shared Key field. The Pre-Shared Key is masked for security purposes.

2.If you want to make sure you’re entering the correct Pre-Shared Key, check Don’t hide the pre- shared key. The Pre-Shared Key you enter appears unmasked in the Pre-shared Key field.

3.Click OK.

Selecting a Certificate

If the SonicWALL VPN Gateway requires a Digital Certificate to establish your identity for the VPN connection, the Select Certificate dialog box appears. This dialog box lists all the available certificates installed on your Global VPN Client. Select the certificate from the menu, then click OK. If you have a certificate that has not been imported into the Global VPN Client using Certificate Manager, click Import Certificate.

Note! See “Managing Certificates” on page 30 for more information on using the Certificate Manager.

Username and Password Authentication

The VPN gateway typically specifies the use of XAUTH for determining GroupVPN policy membership by requiring a username and password either for authentication against the gateway’s internal user database or via an external RADIUS service.
