SonicWall Mobile Connect Setup
I am trying to get the SonicWALL mobile connect setup on my iPhone. When I try to setup at the add name/server option I input the IP:port where the SonicWALL I'm trying to connect to is located also just tried the IP.
"Mobile Connect can't verify the identity of "IP Address". Would you like to continue anyway? I continue.
"IP Address" is either currently unreachable or is not a valid SonicWALL appliance.
NetExtender works on this SonicWALL.
Any help is appreciated.

These are the only options I have when using the Mobile Connect app. If I go to details it has info about a certificate and I choose "Always Trust", it doesn't seem to help. The SonicWALL uses a Selfsigned Certificate.
I double checked the public IP address and it was correct.
Thanks for your help.

what kind of info was masked in your screenshots? IP address or FQDN?

I used the Public IP Address where the SonicWALL is located, I tried with/without the port.
I also tried the dynDNS URL that works from NetExtender - *******.thruhere.net, also with/without port but no luck.
Thanks

so you do mean there is nothing before the SonicWALL device, or in other words the IP is assigned to the WAN interface of the SonicWALL device? if so, what does the SonicWALL's log say? ever tried tracing packets from your mobile device's (public) IP using its Diagnosis option?

Hi bkisiel,
Here are some things to consider:
1. SSL-VPN must be configured correctly for NetExtender/Mobile Connect to work.
2. Default self-cert will work just fine. I'd recommend upgrading to a real cert via godaddy or the like for better security.
3. The port of the SSL-VPN must always be specified after a FQDN or Public IP address.
Let me know once these items have all been cleared so we can continue.

The Public IP address is assigned to X1:V11 (X1 is WAN). When checking the log I did see an error message: destination for 255.255.255.255 is not allowed by access control, that was all the information that it gave me.
1. NetExtender works fine on the laptops.
2. The certificate that is currently setup also works for NetExtender.
3. I have used the port after when entering the IP Address.

Check your licensing...make sure you have enough. You can locate in the Licensing page.
Also make sure you have allocated enough IPs for the SSL-VPN.
If all the above check out and all other devices can access OK then that points to the device.

For the SSL VPN License: Licensed 3 Max: 102 (I guess that means I have 3 licenses or 102?)
No one else is connected at the moment and still have the issue. (Not sure where to check to make sure there is enough available IPs)
I will get another device and try to use the mobile connect. (All devices that use NetExtender have no issues)

Had the same issues.
it seems the SonicWALL device doesn't have a proper certificate installed for mobile clients to connect. or are you sure the given IP address for the firewall is a public IP?
