Adding, editing or deleting saved connections

This section explains how to add, edit or delete saved connections.

Adding a connection

1. In Saved connections, click on the button at the top to the right of the window. If there are no saved connections, you can also click on the Add a connection button in the middle.

2. Choose from either of 2 available modes:

   Connection mode	Description
   Stormshield mode	This mode has to be used with an SNS firewall. In this mode, the Stormshield SSL VPN client: Automatically retrieves the SSL VPN configuration. The client will then check whether the configuration requires an update every time it connects. Sends information to the SNS firewall every time it connects, making it possible it to check the compliance of the client workstation (ZTNA).
   Import OVPN file	This mode makes it possible to import an OpenVPN configuration file (OVPN format), and to connect to the OpenVPN gateway that provided the file.

3. Fill in the required fields based on the selected mode.

Stormshield mode

Field/checkbox	Description
Name	Name of the connection.
Server	IPv4 address or FQDN of the SNS firewall to contact in order to set up the connection.
Port	Server port (443 by default). If the port of the SNS firewall’s captive portal is different from the default port (TCP/443), enter the port used in this field.
Description	Description of the connection, if necessary.
Connect with single sign-on	Select this checkbox to connect with single sign-on. With single sign-on, after the connection has been initiated, authenticate on an authentication portal that opens in your web browser, for example the SNS firewall's captive portal or the portal of the Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platform chosen on the SNS firewall, such as Microsoft Entra ID. If this option is selected, the User name, Password and Use an OTP fields will be hidden.
Username	User name. If you do not fill in this field, you have to enter the user name every time you connect.
Password	User’s password. If you do not fill in this field, you have to enter the password every time you connect.
Use an OTP	Select the checkbox if you are using multifactor authentication (such as the Stormshield TOTP solution), and an OTP (one-time password) is required in order to connect. If this option is selected, you will need to enter an OTP every time you wish to connect.
Connect automatically	Select this checkbox to log in automatically to this connection when the Stormshield SSL VPN client starts. This option can only be enabled on a single connection. Do note that you will need to manually log in if access to saved connections is password-protected, if an OTP is used for the connection, or if the user name and password have to be entered. For more information, refer to the section Enabling the auto login option.
