Creating Firewall or SMA 100 Series Connections

To create and save a new connection to a SonicWall network security appliance or SMA

1. The first time you launch Mobile Connect, tap Add Connection.

   If you don’t have any connections, you’ll bypass step 2 and see the editor screen under step 5.

2. Then, tap Create a new connection. The info icon takes you to the same place.
3. In the Name field, type in a descriptive name for the connection.
4. In the Server field, type in the URL or IP address of the server (appliance).

5. Tap Next. Mobile Connect attempts to contact the SonicWall appliance.

   

6. If Mobile Connect contacts the appliance successfully, the server connection is added to the list of saved connections on the Connections screen. 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 tap Save.

   

7. If Mobile Connect successfully contacts the server after you enter your Name and Server name, choose your Domain name by tapping on the Domain field and selecting from the picker. You can then choose how to obtain your client certificate by tapping on one of the following:

   • Choose during login - You will be prompted to select a certificate if the server requires one.
   • None - If the server requires a certificate, login will be canceled. Then tap Save.

   

   The Domain field is auto-populated with the default domain from the server. To select a different domain, tap Domain to display the available options in the picker, and then select the correct domain.

   Entering your Username and Password is optional during this step. If the previous screenshot does not match what is displayed on your device, you are connecting to the SonicWall SMA 1000 Series. See Creating SMA 1000 Series Connections.

8. 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.

9. iOS may present a security prompt to allow SonicWall Mobile Connect to add VPN Configurations.

   

10. If prompted, tap Allow. The iOS Settings app opens and you may be prompted for your Touch ID, Face ID, or passcode to grant the permission.

    

11. Enter Touch ID, Face ID, or your passcode as required. The Mobile Connect Connections screen where you select the server connection is then displayed.
