Appendix A - Creating and Deploying the Default.rcf File for
Global VPN Clients
The default.rcf file allows the SonicWALL VPN Gateway administrator to create and distribute
preconfigured VPN connections for SonicWALL Global VPN Clients. The SonicWALL VPN Gateway
administrator can distribute the default.rcf file with the Global VPN Client software to automatically create
preconfigured VPN connections for streamlined deployment.
The VPN connections created from the default.rcf file appear in the SonicWALL Global VPN Client
window. The Global VPN Client user simply enables the VPN connection and after XAUTH authentication
with a username and password, the policy download is automatically completed.
How the Global VPN Client uses the default.rcf File
When the Global VPN Client starts up, the program always looks for the SonicWALL Global VPN
Client.rcf file in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global
VPN Client\ directory. If this file does not exist the Global VPN Client looks for the default.rcf file in the
C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global VPN Client\ directory.
The Global VPN Client reads the default.rcf file, if it exists and creates the SonicWALL Global VPN
Client.rcf file in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SonicWALL\SonicWALL Global
VPN Client\ directory. The encrypted SonicWALL Global VPN Client.rcf file contains all the VPN
connection configuration information for the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.
Deploying the default.rcf File
There are three ways to deploy the default.rcf file for your SonicWALL Global VPN Clients.
