Mobile Connect: Windows 8.1 Mobile connect Plugin and its feature highlights
Resolution
SonicWall Mobile Connect for Windows 8.1 is a VPN plug-in that is distributed by Microsoft as part of Windows 8.1. The SonicWall Mobile Connect VPN plug-in enables secure, mobile connections to private networks protected by SonicWall security appliances for devices running Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 RT
Feature Highlights and Functionality Details:
- The Mobile Connect plugin cannot be uninstalled/reinstalled. The plugin is distributed by Microsoft as part of Windows 8.1 (locates in C:Windowsvpnplugins). Updates are delivered through Windows Update.
- By Default, Mobile Connect plugin uses HTTPS 443 Port. For custom port based SSLVPN Connections, we need to use the Advanced XML based customizations.
- End Point Control check (Basic and Advanced) is currently not supported with Windows 8.1 Mobile Connect. We are working on this with our upcoming releases.
- MDM solutions that support Windows 8.1, .e.g, Microsoft Intune can also manage VPN connections on Windows 8.1 devices.
- Debug Logging not enabled by default. Using Advanced xml settings, it can be enabled. Debug Log path:
C:Users\AppDataLocalPackagesSonicWall.MobileConnect_cw5n1h2txyewyLocalStateLogsMobileConnect.log - Other Advanced Customization options include Custom SSLVPN Port, Packet Capture, Windows Native Authentication, Parse Domain Field, Windows Single Sign-On, ESP Support (EX Series Only), etc.
