Successfully connecting to a Sonicwall network with 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) may seem daunting, but with the right guide, it can be straightforward. This article outlines the steps to configure Sonicwall SSL 2 Form Factor Authentication, ensuring your connection is both secure and efficient.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the Google Authenticator app installed on your phone. This free app is available on both the Apple App Store and the Android Play Store.

Step 1: Access the Sonicwall Login Screen

  1. On your laptop or PC, open a web browser.
  2. Enter the IP address provided by your IT administrator followed by :4433. For example, https://your-ip-address:4433.
  3. You will be presented with the Sonicwall login screen.
  4. Log in using your current Sonicwall username and password.

Step 2: Pair Google Authenticator with Sonicwall

  1. After logging in, you will see a QR code displayed on your screen.
  2. On your mobile device, open the Google Authenticator app.
  3. For iPhones, click the + icon; for Android phones, click the three dots to add an account.
  4. Select Work or School.
  5. Choose Scan a QR Code. This will open your camera.
  6. Point your phone at the QR code until it is successfully added.
  • Open the new account in Google Authenticator, enter the 6-digit code in the field provided, and click Ok at the bottom.
  • On the next screen, click the Continue link.

    • Step 3: Finish the Pairing Process

    You can now close the initial Sonicwall webpage. This concludes the pairing of your Google Authenticator app with your Sonicwall device.

    Step 4: Connect Using Sonicwall NetExtender

    1. Open the Sonicwall NetExtender application on your computer.
    2. Enter your username and password, then click Connect.
    3. If prompted, you will see a screen asking for a password. If this screen does not appear and the NetExtender spins at “Verifying Users,” contact your IT support (Owen or Kerry).

    Step 5: Enter the 2FA Code

    1. On your phone, open the Google Authenticator app and locate the Sonicwall account.
    2. Type in the 6-digit code displayed and enter it in the Password field, then click Ok.

    This should successfully connect you to the Sonicwall network.
