Benefits
The NetExtender Windows client also has a custom-dialer that allows it to be launched from the Windows Network Connections menu. This custom-dialer allows NetExtender to be connected before the Windows domain login. The NetExtender Windows client also supports a single active connection, and displays real-time throughput and data compression ratios in the client.
NetExtender Concepts
Stand-Alone Client
Once the NetExtender stand-alone client has been installed, Windows users can launch NetExtender from their PC’s Start > Programs menu and configure NetExtender to launch when Windows boots.
NetExtender can establish a VPN session before the user logs into the Windows domain. For Windows Vista or later, users can click Switch User on the Windows login screen and click the blue computer icon that appears at the right bottom of the screen to view the dialup connection list, and then can select NetExtender to connect.
IP Address User Segmentation
Administrators can configure separate NetExtender IP address ranges for users and groups. These settings are configured on the Users > Local Users and Users > Local Groups pages, using the NetExtender tab in the Edit User and Edit Group windows.
To reserve a single IP address for an individual user, the administrator can enter the same IP address in both the Client Address RangeBegin and Client Address Range End fields on the NetExtender tab of the Edit Group window.
Client Routes
NetExtender client routes are used to allow and deny access to various network resources. Client routes can also be configured at the user and group level. NetExtender client routes are also configured on the Edit User and Edit Group windows. The segmentation of client routes is fully customizable, allowing the administrator to specify any possible permutation of user, group, and global routes (such as only group routes, only user routes, group and global routes, user, group, and global routes, etc.). This segmentation is controlled by the Add Global NetExtender Client routes and Add Group NetExtender Client routes check boxes.
NetExtender with External Authentication Methods
Networks that use an external authentication server will not configure local usernames on the SRA appliance. In such cases, when a user is successfully authenticated, a local user account is created if the Add Global NetExtender Client routes and Add Group NetExtender Client routes settings are enabled.
