Check for antivirus and firewall while connecting to VPN
Hi, is there any way to check if the client portable device that is trying to establish a VPN connection has antivirus software installed and firewall enabled? if not we would like not to allow the connection. Would be nice to check if antivirus is up to date. Currently most clients use Sonicwall SSL VPN.

check through Sonicwall firewall log if can establish or not.

Hey,
It depends on what software you are using as a VPN endpoint but what you are trying to pull off is using NAP (network Access Protection). This feature enables you to only allow access to your network after a set of requirements is fulfilled (being virusscanner up-to-date or latest windows patches installed).
Microsoft server 2012 has a new feature attached to RRAS which is called NAP, you can set a specific set of policies before a user connects to the network using VPN. I have heard though (haven't tested it myself) that it is somewhat cluncky mostly because it seems to mostly check on Microsoft settings.
You can also off course use a different VPN endpoint, they all support NAP these days.
