Creating Firewall or SMA 100 Series Connections

To create and save a new connection to a SonicWall network security appliance and SMA100 Series

1. The first time you launch Mobile Connect, you must add a VPN connection before you can connect.

2. Select Add connection from the Connection list.

   

3. In the Name field on the popup dialog, type in a descriptive name for the connection.

4. In the Server field, type in the hostname or IP address of the server (firewall or SMA 100 Series).

   

5. Click Next.

   Mobile Connect attempts to contact the SonicWall appliance.

   If the attempt fails, a warning message displays, asking if you want to save the connection. Verify that the server address or URL is spelled correctly, and then click Save.

   

6. If Mobile Connect successfully contacts the server, you are prompted to enter your username and password, unless the server does not require this information.

7. Type your credentials into the Username and Password fields.

   

   If the previous screenshot does not match what is displayed on your device, you are connecting to a SonicWall SMA 1000 Series. See Creating SMA 1000 Series Connections.

8. The Domain field is auto-populated with the default domain from the server. To select a different domain, click Domain to display a drop-down menu of the available options and then select the correct domain.

   

9. The Protocol field is auto-populated with the default VPN from the server. To select a different VPN, click Protocol to display a drop-down menu of the available options and then select the required VPN.

   • Auto: Selecting Auto connects the VPN according the preference setting of the appliance.

   • WireGuard: Selecting WireGuard connects to WireGuard.

   • SSLVPN: Selecting SSLVPN connects to SSLVPN.

   

   The Protocol selection is not displayed when you are connected to a SonicWall SMA 1000 Series.

10. Click Save to create the new connection.
