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.

Mobile Connect acts as a NetExtender client when connecting to the Dell 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 Dell SonicWALL
security appliances. For information about installing and using SonicWALL Mobile Connect,
see the SonicWALL Mobile Connect User Guide at:

app stores.
