The Home page provides customized content and links to network resources. The Home Page 
may contain support contact information, VPN instructions, company news, or technical 
updates. 
Only a Web browser is required to access intranet Web sites, File Shares, and FTP sites. VNC, 
Telnet and SSHv1 require Java. SSHv2 provides stronger encryption than SSHv1, requires 
SUN JRE 1.4 or above and can only connect to servers that support SSHv2. Terminal Services 
requires either Java or ActiveX on the client machine. 
As examples of tasks you can perform and environments you can reach through Virtual Office, 
you can connect to: 
Intranet Web or HTTPS sites – If your organization supports Web-based email, such as 
Outlook Web Access, you can also access Web-based email
The entire network by launching the NetExtender client
FTP servers for uploading and downloading files
The corporate network neighborhood for file sharing
Telnet and SSH servers 
Desktops and desktop applications using Terminal Services or VNC.
Email servers via the NetExtender client.
The administrator determines what resources are available to users from the SonicWALL SSL 
VPN Virtual Office. The administrator can create user, group, and global policies that disable 
access to certain machines or applications on the corporate network. 
The administrator may also define bookmarks, or preconfigured links, to Web sites or 
computers on the intranet. Additional bookmarks may be defined by the end user.
SonicWALL NetExtender is a software application that enables remote users to securely 
connect to the remote network. With NetExtender, remote users can virtually join the remote 
network. Users can mount network drives, upload and download files, and access resources in 
the same way as if they were on the local network.
Certificates
If the SSL-VPN appliance uses a self-signed SSL certificate for HTTPS authentication, then it 
is recommended to install the certificate before establishing a NetExtender connection. If you 
are unsure whether the certificate is self-signed or generated by a trusted root Certificate 
Authority, SonicWALL recommends that you import the certificate. The easiest way to import 
the certificate is to click the Import Certificate button at the bottom of the Virtual Office home 
page.
