SonicWALL SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.5 manual Changing Passwords, Authentication Methods

Using NetExtender

When using releases prior to 2.5, users should periodically launch NetExtender from the SonicWALL Virtual Office to ensure they have the latest version. Prior to release 2.5, the standalone NetExtender does not check for updates when it is launched directly from a user’s computer.

Changing Passwords

Before connecting to the new version of NetExtender, users may be required to reset their password by suppling their old password, along with providing and re-verifying a new one.

Authentication Methods

NetExtender supports various two factor authentication methods, including one-time password, RSA, and Vasco. If an administrator has configured one-time passwords to be required to connect through NetExtender, you will be asked to provide this information before connecting.

If an administrator has configured RSA pin-mode authentication to be required to connect through NetExtender, users will be asked whether they want to create their own pin, or receive one that is system-generated.
