Appendix A - Creating and Deploying the Default.rcf File for Global VPN Clients

The default.rcf file allows the SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator to create and distribute preconfigured VPN connections for SonicWALL Global VPN Clients. The SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator can distribute the default.rcf file with the Global VPN Client software to automatically create preconfigured VPN connections for streamlined deployment.

The VPN connections created from the default.rcf file appear in the SonicWALL Global VPN Client window. The Global VPN Client user simply enables the VPN connection and after XAUTH authentication with a username and password, the policy download is automatically completed.

How the Global VPN Client uses the default.rcf File

When the Global VPN Client starts up, the program always looks for the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory. If this file does not exist the Global VPN Client looks for the default.rcf file in the C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory.

The Global VPN Client reads the default.rcf file, if it exists and creates the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory. The encrypted SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file contains all the VPN connection configuration information for the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.

Deploying the default.rcf File

There are three ways to deploy the default.rcf file for your SonicWALL Global VPN Clients.
