Prerequisites for Linux Clients:
Linux 32-bit or 64-bit clients are supported for NetExtender when running one of the following
distributions (32-bit or 64-bit):
• Linux Fedora Core 15 or higher, Ubuntu 11.10 or higher, or OpenSUSE 10.3 or higher
• Java 1.5 and higher is required for using the NetExtender GUI.
The NetExtender client has been known to work on other distributions as well, but these are not
officially supported.
Note Open source Java Virtual Machines (VMs) are not currently supported. If you do not have
Java 1.5 or higher, you can use the command-line interface version of NetExtender.
Prerequisites for Apple iOS Clients
SonicWALL Mobile Connect is supported on Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices
running Apple iOS:
• iPhone 4S – running Apple iOS 5 or higher
• iPhone 4 – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
• iPhone 3GS – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
• iPhone 3G – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
• iPad 2 – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
• iPad – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
• iPod Touch (2nd Generation or later) – running Apple iOS 4.2 or higher
Mobile Connect acts as a NetExtender client when connecting to the SonicWALL SRA. For
Mobile Connect access to succeed, the portal must be set to allow NetExtender connections
and the user account and group must be authorized to use NetExtender.
SonicWALL Mobile Connect is an app for iPhone and iPad that, like NetExtender, uses SSL
VPN to enable secure, mobile connections to private networks protected by SonicWALL
security appliances. For information about installing and using SonicWALL Mobile Connect,
see the SonicWALL Mobile Connect User’s Guide at:

Prerequisites for Android Smartphone Clients
The NetExtender Android client is supported on rooted smartphones running the following
versions of the Android operating system:
• 1.6 or higher
The NetExtender Android client is compatible with any SonicWALL SSL VPN firmware version
that supports the NetExtender Linux client, specifically:
• SSL VPN 4.0 and higher
As new features are added, users must install the updated client to access all the features
supported by the new firmware. Likewise, if a new client is used with older firmware, some client
features may not be functional. For best results, the latest firmware should always be used with
the latest client.
