It is not necessary to configure the Security Policy as it is imported directly into the
Client application. Exporting the security association to a file facilitates configuration of a
large number of VPN clients and you do not have to configure each client individually. You
can distribute multiple copies of the configuration file via floppy disk.
Group VPN can also be configured using digital certificates in the Security Association
settings. For more information on Group VPN configuration using digital certificates, refer
to the Authentication Service User's Guide on the SonicWALL website:
<http://www.sonicwall.com/vpn-center/vpn-setup.html>.
