Configuring NetExtender Client Settings
NetExtender client settings are configured on the bottom of the SSL VPN > Client Settings
page. The following settings to customize the behavior of NetExtender when users connect and
disconnect.
• Default Session Timeout (minutes) - The default timeout value for client inactivity, after
which the client’s session is terminated.
• Enable NetBIOS Over SSLVPN - Allows NetExtender clients to broadcast NetBIOS to the
SSL VPN subnet.
• Enable Client Autoupdate - The NetExtender client checks for updates every time it is
launched.
• Exit Client After Disconnect - The NetExtender client exits when it becomes disconnected
from the SSL VPN server. To reconnect, users will have to either return to the SSL VPN
portal or launch NetExtender from their Programs menu.
• Uninstall Client After Disconnect - The NetExtender client automatically uninstalls when
it becomes disconnected from the SSL VPN server. To reconnect, users will have to return
to the SSL VPN portal.
• Create Client Connection Profile - The NetExtender client will create a connection profile
recording the SSL VPN Server name, the Domain name and optionally the username and
password.
• Communication Between Clients - Enables NetExtender clients that are connected to the
same server to communicate.
• User Name & Password Caching - Provide flexibility in allowing users to cache their
usernames and passwords in the NetExtender client. The three options are Allow saving
of user name only, Allow saving of user name & password, and Prohibit saving of
user name & password. These options enable administrators to balance security needs
against ease of use for users.
