  • Double-click the Mobile VPN with SSL shortcut on your desktop.

  2. Select Applications > WatchGuard.
  3. Double-click the WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL application.

Specify the Client Connection Settings

After you start the Mobile VPN with SSL Client, to start the VPN connection, you must specify the authentication server and user account credentials. Mobile VPN with SSL does not support Single Sign-On (SSO).

The Server is the IP address of the primary external interface of a Firebox, or an FQDN that resolves to that IP address. If Mobile VPN with SSL on the Firebox is configured to use a port other than the default port 443, in the Server text box, you must type the IP address or FQDN followed by a colon and the port number. For example, if Mobile VPN with SSL is configured to use port 444, and the primary external IP address is 203.0.113.2, the Server is 203.0.113.2:444.

The User name format depends on which authentication server the user authenticates to:

  • If the Firebox configuration includes multiple authentication servers, and you want to authenticate to an authentication server that is not the default authentication server, you must specify the authentication server in the User name text box.
  • If the Firebox configuration includes multiple authentication servers, and you want to authenticate to the default authentication server, you do not need to specify the authentication server in the User name text box.

For example, the User name must be formatted in one of these ways:

To use the default authentication server

Type the user name. Example: j_smith

To use another authentication server

Type the authentication server name or domain name, and then type a backlash () followed by the user name. Example: <server.example.com><j_smith>.

Active Directoryad1_example.comj_smith

Firebox-DBFirebox-DBj_smith

AuthPoint (Fireware v12.7 or higher) — authpointjsmith

Vpn Download Mac

RADIUS (Fireware v12.5 or higher) — rad1.example.comj_smith or RADIUSj_smith. You must type the domain name specified in the RADIUS settings on Firebox.

Vpn Download Macbook Air

RADIUS (Fireware v12.4.1 or lower) — RADIUSj_smith. You must always type RADIUS.

If your configuration includes a RADIUS server, and you upgrade from Fireware v12.4.1 or lower to Fireware v12.5 or higher, the Firebox automatically uses RADIUS as the domain name for that server. To authenticate to that server, you must type RADIUS as the domain name. In this case, if you type a domain name other than RADIUS, authentication fails.

To connect to your private network from the Mobile VPN with SSL client:

  1. In the Server text box, type or select the IP address or name of the Firebox to connect to.
    The IP address or name of the server you most recently connected to is selected by default.
  2. In the User name text box, type the user name.
    If Mobile VPN with SSL on the Firebox is configured to use multiple authentication methods, specify the authentication server or domain name before the user name. For example, ad1_example.comj_smith.
  3. In the Password text box, type the password for your user account.
    The client remembers the password if the administrator configured the authentication settings to allow it.
  4. Click Connect.

If the connection between the SSL client and the Firebox is temporarily lost, the SSL client tries to establish the connection again.
