SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Creating Bookmarks with Custom SSO Credentials
The administrator can configure custom Single Sign On (SSO) credentials for each user, group,
or globally in RDP bookmarks. This feature is used to access resources that need a domain prefix
for SSO authentication. Users can log into SonicWALL SSL VPN as username, and click a
customized bookmark to access a server with domain\username. Either straight textual
parameters or variables may be used for login credentials.
To configure custom SSO credentials, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Create or edit an RDP bookmark as described in “Configuring SSL VPN Bookmarks” on
page 971.
Step 2 In the Bookmarks tab, select the Use Custom Credentials option.
Step 3 Enter the appropriate username and password, or use dynamic variables as follows:
Step 4 Click Add.
Using SSL VPN Bookmarks
The following sections describe how to use the various types of bookmarks:
• “Using Remote Desktop Bookmarks” section on page 975
• “Using VNC Bookmarks” section on page 977
• “Using Telnet Bookmarks” section on page 979
• “Using SSHv1 Bookmarks” section on page 980
• “Using SSHv2 Bookmarks” section on page 981
Using Remote Desktop Bookmarks
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) bookmarks enable you to establish remote connections with
a specified desktop. SonicWALL SSL VPN supports the RDP5 standard with both Java and
ActiveX clients. RDP5 ActiveX can only be used through Internet Explorer, while RDP5 Java
can be run on any platform and browser supported by the SonicWALL SSL VPN. The basic
functionality of the two clients is the same; however, the Java client is a native RDP client and
supports the following features that the ActiveX client does not:
• Redirect clipboard
• Redirect plug and play devices
• Display connection bar
• Auto reconnection
• Desktop background
• Window drag
• Menu/window animation
