Appendix C - Running the Global VPN Client fromthe Command Line InterfaceThe SonicWALL Global VPN Client can run from the Command Line Interface (CLI). Thisinterface allows for the programmatic or script-based initiation of certain Global VPN Clientfunctions without requiring the user to directly act in the GVC application. The Global VPNClient CLI enables the setting up of scripts that automatically initiate a secure tunnel anytime aparticular application or connection methos is started.The CLI commands require the use of a complete path name to the Global VPN Clientapplication followed by various flags and variable information such as username or password.Alert! Embedding a user’s password directly in a script is a security risk. Anyone who can gainaccess to the script can read the password to circumvent security. It is recommended thatscripts or programmatic dashboards ask for the password before initiating a connection andthen clear the variable.Command Line OptionsYou can use the following options to perform a variety of Global VPN Client actions from thecommand line.• /E “Connection Name” Enables the specific connection.• /D “Connection Name” Disables the specific connection.• /Q - Quits a running an instance of the program. Ignored if program is not already running.• /A [filename] - Starts the program and sends all messages to the specified log file. If nolog file is specified, the default file name is gvcauto.log. If the program is already running,this option is ignored.• /U “Username” - Username to pass to XAUTH. Must be used in conjunction with /E.• /P “Password” - Password to pass to XAUTH. Must be used in conjunction with /E.Command Line Examples• \swgvpnclient - runs/starts application. If application is already running, it does notcreate another instance.• \swgvpnclient /E /U and /P -runs/starts the application and enables the named connection and use the and for user authentication. If you do not include a username and password.the Global VPN Client presents a dialog box asking for the information in order to continue.• \swgvpnclient /A - runs/starts the application and enables autologging of all events to a log file. If the filename is not specified, then the log file is createdwith the default name . If you want to save the autolog for each Global VPNClient session, you can use the filename option and specify a different filename each timethe application is stated. This file is created in the same directory where the Global VPNClient application is started, if the path is not specified.SonicWALL Global VPN Client 2.1 Administrator’s Guide Page 61
Appendix D - Installing the Global VPN Clientwith a Ghost ApplicationDuring the normal, non-Ghost installation of the Global VPN Client, a MAC address for thevirtual adapter is generated and assigned during the installation process. However, when theGlobal VPN Client is installed with CmdLine=/g (Ghost) option, a default MAC address isassigned to the SonicWALL VPN Adapter. After the installation when the Global VPN Client isstarted for the first time, this default MAC address is detected, which in turn generates a newMAC address and assigns it to the SonicWALL VPN Adapter.Alert! DO NOT OPEN the Global VPN Client application after installing it and BEFORE youghost it. Global VPN Client installation with the CmdLine=/g option works by recognizing that itis the FIRST time that the Global VPN Client has been started, and randomly creates a uniqueMAC address for the SonicWALL VPN Adapter. If you open the Global VPN Client BEFOREusing ghost, you receive the same MAC address for the SonicWALL VPN Adapter resulting innetwork conflicts.Page 62 SonicWALL Global VPN Client 2.1 Administrator’s Guide
