SonicWALL none manual New Features in SonicWALL Global VPN Client

Page 7

•Automatic Reconnect When Error Occurs - Allows the Global VPN Client to keep retrying a connection if it encounters a problem connecting to a peer. This feature allows the Global VPN Client to automatically make a connection to a SonicWALL VPN gateway that is temporarily disabled, without manual intervention.

•Ghost Installation for Large Scale Installations - Enables the Global VPN Client’s virtual adapter to get its default address after installation and then create a ghost image.

•NT Domain Logon Script Support - Allows Global VPN Clients to perform Windows NT/2000 domain authentication after establishing a secure IPSec tunnel. The SonicWALL VPN gateway passes the logon script as part of the Global VPN Client configuration. This feature allows the VPN user to have access to mapped network drives and other network services.

•Dual Processor Support - Enables the Global VPN Client to operate on dual-processor computers.

•Group Policy Management - Global VPN Clients access can be customized and restricted to specific subnet access (Requires SonicOS Enhanced).

•Hub and Spoke VPN Access - Allows IP addressing from SonicWALL VPN Gateway’s DHCP Server to Global VPN Client for configuring a different subnet for all remote Global VPN Clients than the subnet of the LAN. Makes hub-and-spoke VPN access simpler. When a Global VPN Client successfully authenticates with the central site, it receives a virtual IP address that also grants it access to other trusted VPN sites.

•Default VPN Connections File - Enables the SonicWALL administrator to configure and distribute the corporate VPN connections with the Global VPN Client software to streamline VPN client deployment.

•Integration with Dial-Up Adapter - Allows Global VPN Client connections using Microsoft Dial-Up Networking or third-party dial-up applications either as an automatic backup to a broadband connection or as the primary connection.

•Single VPN Connection to any SonicWALL Secure Wireless Appliance for Roaming - Allows users to use a single VPN connection policy to access the networks of multiple SonicWALL Secure Wireless appliances.

•Automatic Configuration of Redundant Gateways from DNS - When an IPSec gateway domain name resolves to multiple IP addresses, the Global VPN Client (version 2.1.0.0 or higher) uses the IP addresses in the list as failover gateways.

New Features in SonicWALL Global VPN Client 4.0

The following new features are supported on the SonicWALL Global VPN Client 4.0 release:

•Tunnel State Display Enhancement - The Global VPN Client now provides additional information about the state of VPN tunnels. In addition to the states of enabled, disabled, and connected, the Global VPN Client now indicates when tunnels are authenticating, provisioning, and connecting.

•Tunnel Status Pop-Up Window - The Global VPN Client now alerts users when tunnels are connected or disconnected by displaying a small pop-up window.

•Smart Card and USB Token Authentication - The Global VPN Client is now integrated with the Microsoft Cryptographic Application Program (MS CryptoAPI or MSCAPI), which enables the Global VPN Client to support user authentication using digital certificates on Smart cards and USB tokens.

•NAT-T-IKE-03 Draft Support - To improve compatibility with NAT-T-IKE-03, UDP encapsulation now uses port 4500 instead of port 500.

•DNS Redirect - DNS queries to DNS suffix associated with Virtual Adapter are not sent on the physical adapter.

•Tunnel All Support Enhancement - Provides the ability to route clear traffic to directly connected network interfaces that are configured with the Route All policy, which is generally used in the WLAN zone.

•Program Auto-Start on VPN Connection - Automatically launches a program, with optional arguments, when successful VPN connections are established, as specified in the Connection Properties dialog box.
