To initially install the NetExtender client, the user must be logged in to the PC with 
administrative privileges.

Downloading and running scripted ActiveX files must be enabled on Internet Explorer.

If the SonicWALL security appliance uses a self-signed SSL certificate for HTTPS 
authentication, then it is necessary to install the certificate before establishing a 
NetExtender connection. If you are unsure whether the certificate is self-signed or

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.
