Adding VPN Connection Policies

Adding a new VPN connection policy is easy because SonicWALL’s Client Policy Provisioning automatically provides all the necessary configuration information to make a secure connection to the local or remote network. The burden of configuring the VPN connection parameters is removed from the Global VPN Client user. VPN connection policies can be created using three methods:

Download the VPN policy from the SonicWALL VPN Gateway to the Global VPN Client

using the New Connection Wizard. This wizard walks you through the process of locating the source of your configuration information and automatically downloads the VPN

configuration information over a secure IPSec VPN tunnel.

Import a VPN policy file into the SonicWALL Global VPN Client. The VPN policy is sent to you as a file, which you install using the Import Connection dialog box.

Install the default.rcf file as part of the Global VPN Client software installation or add it after installing the Global VPN Client. If the SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator included the default.rcf file as part of the Global VPN Client software, when the program is installed, one or more preconfigured VPN connections are automatically created.

Note! Creating a Default.rcf file and distributing it with the Global VPN Client software allows the SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator to streamline VPN client deployment and allow users to quickly establish VPN connections. When the Global VPN Client software is installed, the VPN policy created by the SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator is automatically created. For more information on creating the Default.rcf file, see “Appendix A - Creating and Deploying the Default.rcf File for Global VPN Clients” on page 40.

Alert! Your SonicWALL must be configured with GroupVPN to facilitate the automatic provisioning of Global VPN Clients. For instructions on configuring your SonicWALL with GroupVPN, see your SonicWALL Administrator’s Guide.

Understanding VPN Connection Policies

The Global VPN Client allows multiple connection policies to be configured at the same time, whether they are provisioned from multiple gateways or imported from one or more files. Because connection policies may be provisioned from multiple gateways, each connection policy explicitly states allowed behavior in the presence of any connection policy conflicts. You may have VPN connections that don’t allow other VPN connections or Internet and network connections while the VPN policy is enabled.

The VPN connection policy includes all the parameters necessary to establish secure IPSec tunnels to the gateway. A connection policy includes Phase 1 and Phase 2 Security Associations (SA) parameters including:

Encryption and authentication proposals

Phase 1 identity payload type

Phase 2 proxy IDs (traffic selectors)

Client Phase 1 credential

Allowed behavior of connection in presence of other active connections

Client caching behavior
