SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0 Benutzerhandbuch

Using the NetExtender SSL VPN client – The SonicWALL SSL VPN network extension 
client, NetExtender, is available through the SSL VPN Virtual Office portal via an ActiveX 
control or through stand-alone applications for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Windows Mobile, 
and Android smartphone platforms. To connect using the SSL VPN client, log into the 
portal, download the installer application and then launch the NetExtender connector to 
establish the SSL VPN tunnel. The NetExtender Android client has a different installation 
process, described in this guide. Once you have set up the SSL VPN tunnel, you can 
access network resources as if you were on the local network. 

The NetExtender standalone applications are automatically installed on a client system the 
first time you click on the NetExtender link in the Virtual Office portal. The standalone client 
can be launched directly from users’ computers without requiring them to log in to the SSL 
VPN portal first.

For SSL VPN to work as described in this guide, the SonicWALL SSL-VPN security appliance 
must be installed and configured according to the directions provided in the SonicWALL SSL-
VPN Getting Started Guide for your model.

The following Web browsers are supported for the SSL VPN Virtual Office portal: 

Internet Explorer 7.0+, 8.0+

Firefox 3.0+

Safari 5.0+

Chrome 6.0+, 7.0+

For administrator management interface Web browser compatibility, refer to the SonicWALL 
SSL VPN Administrator’s Guide.
