Importing the end-user profile
When the computer restarts, the WatchGuard Mobile VPN Connection Monitor dialog box opens.
When the software starts for the first time after you install it, you get this message:
There is no profile for the VPN dial-up!
Do you want to use the Configuration Assistant for generating a profile now?

On the
Authentication
screen, you can select whether to type the user name and password that
you use to authenticate the VPN tunnel. If you keep these fields clear, you are prompted to enter
your user name and password each time you connect to the VPN.
If you type your user name and password here, the Firebox stores it and you do not have to enter
this information each time you connect. However, this is a security risk. Optionally, you can type
just your user name and keep the
Password
field clear. This can minimize the amount of data
required for the VPN connection.
