Appendix A - Creating and Deploying the Default.rcf File for Global VPN Clients Page 41
Include the default.rcf File with the Global VPN Client Software
After you create the default.rcf file, you can include it with the SonicWALL Global VPN Client software.
When the user installs the Global VPN Client program, the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file is
automatically created in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory based on the settings defined in the default.rcf
file. This is the easiest method for Global VPN Client users.
Alert! The default.rcf file must be included in the default Global VPN Client installation directory
C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ for the program to write the SonicWALL
Global VPN Client.rcf file based on the settings defined in the default.rcf file.
Add the default.rcf file to the Default Global VPN Client Directory
If the Global VPN Client software is installed without VPN connections, the user can add the default.rcf
file to the default Global VPN Client installation directory C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL
Global VPN Client\. When the user launches the Global VPN Client, the SonicWALL Global VPN
Client.rcf file is created in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory based on the default.rcf file settings.
Replace the Existing SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf File
If the Global VPN Client is installed with VPN connections, the user can remove the SonicWALL Global
VPN Client.rcf file from the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory and add the default.rcf file to the default
Global VPN Client installation directory C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\.
When the user launches the Global VPN Client, the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file is created in
the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\
directory based on the default.rcf file settings.
Alert! You cannot copy the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file created from the settings defined in
the default.rcf file for one Global VPN Client to replace an existing SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf
file of another Global VPN Client.
Alert! Removing an existing SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file will remove the VPN connections
created in the Global VPN Client. These VPN connections can be added again from the Global VPN Client
into the new SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file.
