How Global VPN Client uses the default.rcf File

When the Global VPN Client starts up, the program always looks for the configuration file, Connections.rcf, in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\SonicWall\Global VPN Client\ directory. If this file does not exist, the Global VPN Client looks for the default.rcf file in the program install directory, C:\Program Files\SonicWall\Global VPN Client\.

The Global VPN Client reads the default.rcf file, if it exists, and creates the configuration file, Connections.rcf, in the C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\SonicWall\Global VPN Client\ directory. The Connections.rcf file contains all the VPN connection configuration information for the SonicWall Global VPN Client, with sensitive data (user names and passwords) encrypted.
