Settings Section

The following options are controlled from the Settings section of the Settings screen:

• Connect on Launch - Sets Mobile Connect to automatically initiate a connection to the last-used profile when the application is launched.
• Automatic Reconnect - Sets Mobile Connect to automatically attempt to reconnect if the connection is lost. The SSL VPN connection can be disrupted when your device’s connection transitions to a different network type (for example, from wireless to cellular). This setting lets applications rely on a sustained VPN connection. There is no limit on the amount of time it takes to reconnect.

• URL Control - Allows other mobile applications to pass action requests using special URLs to Mobile Connect. These action requests can create VPN connection entries and connect or disconnect VPN connections. For example, another application can launch Mobile Connect, access internal resources as needed, and then disconnect by using the mobileconnect:// or sonicwallmobileconnect:// URL scheme.

  Additional information about URL Control is provided in URL Control Syntax and Parameters.

• Touch ID - Set Mobile Connect to prompt for Touch ID during username/password authentication. Requires connection to servers that have a configured Touch ID policy.
• Face ID - Set Mobile Connect to prompt for Face ID during username/password authentication. Requires connection to servers that have a configured Face ID policy.

• Bookmarks - Displays centrally configured shortcuts, called bookmarks, to VPN resources such as URLs, Outlook Web Access, and iOS applications. These bookmarks, which are displayed on the main Connection tab when the VPN is connected, provide one-touch access to frequently used applications.

  If using an SMA 100 Series / SRA appliance, pulling down the Connection screen and releasing it refreshes the bookmarks. Mobile Connect supports Remote Desktop options like screen size and enable/disable audio as long as both the server bookmark and third-party iOS application support the option.

  Bookmarks are supported on SonicWall SMA 100 Series only when running version 7.5 or higher and on Next Generation Firewall appliances running SonicOS 5.9.0.2 and higher.

  Additional information about bookmarks is provided in Using Bookmarks.

• Files - Deletes all cached files that have been downloaded and stored on the device. Note that cached files are encrypted on the device for added security.

  Files are supported on SonicWall SMA 100 Series only when running 7.5 or higher and not supported on appliances running SonicOS.

  Additional information about Files is provided in Using Files.

• Logs - Serves two purposes:

  • Enables full debug log messages of Mobile Connect activity. Leave this section disabled unless instructed to enable it by SonicWall Support staff.
  • Deletes all log files that have been saved on the device.
• Imported Certificate - Allows a user to import client certificates to log into remote servers. These digital certificates are sent from the client to the server at the start of a session. They prove the identification of the user to the server. You can import client certificates from apps such as Mail, Outlook, or web browsers like Safari.
