Setting up SonicWall VPN Client with Authenticator App

Are you looking for a secure way to access your University's network resources remotely? Look no further! The SonicWall VPN client is here to help. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up the SonicWall VPN client using an authenticator app as your two-factor verification method.

Setting Up Authenticator App

To begin, set up an authenticator app as your two-factor verification method. Once you've done so, close this window and proceed to the next step.

Logging in with MFA

If you have already logged in using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on your University account, you will not be required to authenticate again and will be automatically directed to the authentication granted browser window. You will see a message stating 'Authentication is granted.'

Configuring SonicWall Browser

A SonicWall active browser will open in a separate tab. A page will appear asking you to enter your second login factor by text or Authenticator app, depending on your MFA setup.

Entering University Login Details

Enter your University login details as described above. You will receive the same MFA prompt as if logging into your University Microsoft365 email.

Starting Connect Tunnel

A new browser window will open in a separate tab. To start the Connect Tunnel, use the command 'startct' to run the command-line interface (requires Java) or 'startctui' to run the graphical interface (also requires Java).

By following these steps, you can securely access your University's network resources using the SonicWall VPN client with an authenticator app as your two-factor verification method. Remember to enter your correct login details and follow the prompts carefully to ensure a smooth and secure connection.
