Providing Authentication

The VPN gateway typically specifies the use of XAUTH for determining GroupVPN policy membership by requiring a username and password either for authentication against the gateway’s internal user database or via an external RADIUS service.

If the SonicWall VPN gateway is provisioned to prompt you for the username and password to enter the remote network, the Enter Username and Password dialog appears.

To enter a username and password

1. Type your username and password.
2. Optionally, if permitted by the gateway, select Remember Username and Password to cache your username and password to automatically log in for future VPN connections.
3. Click OK to continue with establishing your VPN connection.
