Importing a VPN Configuration File

A VPN connection policy can be created as a file and sent to you by the SonicWALL VPN gateway administrator. This VPN configuration file has the filename extension .rcf. If you received a VPN connection policy file from your administrator, you can install it using the Import Connection dialog box.

The VPN policy file is in the XML format to provide more efficient encoding of policy information. Because the file can be encrypted, pre-shared keys can also be exported in the file. The encryption method is specified in the PKCS#5 Password-Based Cryptography Standard from RSA Laboratories and uses Triple-DES encryption and SHA-1 message digest algorithms.
