Appendix: Retrieving the SSL VPN configuration (OVPN file)

This appendix explains how to retrieve the SSL VPN configuration file (OVPN file).

You will need this file if you intend to add connections from an imported OVPN file. An administrator from your organization may ask you to retrieve the OVPN file.

Retrieving the OVPN file from the SNS firewall captive portal

  1. Ensure that you are logged in to your organization's network.

  2. Open a web browser and go to the address of the SNS firewall captive portal.

    An administrator in your organization would have provided you with this address, which is generally in this format: mycompany.tld/auth or gateway.mycompany.tld/auth.

    The image below shows the default captive portal login page. Do note that this page can be customized to reflect your organization's visual identity.
