Importing a VPN Configuration File
A VPN connection policy can be created as a file and sent to you by the SonicWALL VPN gateway
administrator. This VPN configuration file has the filename extension
.rcf
. If you received a VPN
connection policy file from your administrator, you can install it using the
Import Connection
dialog box.
The VPN policy file is in the XML format to provide more efficient encoding of policy information. Because
the file can be encrypted, pre-shared keys can also be exported in the file. The encryption method is
specified in the PKCS#5 Password-Based Cryptography Standard from RSA Laboratories and uses
Triple-DES encryption and SHA-1 message digest algorithms.
