New SonicWall NetExtender 10.3.0 changed .exe (addon broken)

Hi there,

just installed the new SonicWall NetExtender client (10.3.0) and RDM is not able to call it anymore. I think that the issue is that in the program folder there's no necli.exe anymore, but a nxcli.exe instead.

Can you try to look at that? RDM entries are now broken (for NetExtender VPN).

Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Have you tried updating the Path properties of the SonicWall NetExtender in File - Settings - Application - Paths?


Best regards,

Hi,

please note that I specified that the exe file name is changed, not the folder path...

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

Have you tried renaming the .exe file to see if that helps?

Best regards,

Hi Nicola,

We will add support for this new executable name. As a workaround in the meantime you can make a copy of nxcli.exe named necli.exe, I just tested it it works with the current version of RDM.

Ok, thanks.

My main attempt was to notify to you the new version change.

Cheers.

WARNING: certificate acceptance message is changed as well, so I think a code change in RDM is needed.

I can confirm that copying the file works - though in our case we also had to update the name of the name of the network adapter is looks for an IP on (previously it was "SonicWall NetExtender" and it's now "SonicWall_NetExtender_SSL":

I confirm the same too.

Thank you for reporting it, we added the information to our ticket to handle those changes correctly.

Hello,

We've fixed the executable issue as well as the confirmation for the certificate.

For the certificate confirmation fix to work (sending "T" instead of "Y"), make sure that the executable is named "nxcli.exe" if you've renamed it to "necli.exe" as a temporary fix. We use the executable name to ensure that the correct confirmation is sent to the correct version of SonicWall.

You can expect these fixes to be in the upcoming 2024.3 version.

Hi there,

back on topics. I'm using NetExtender 10.3.4 and there is something wrong. I have "Automatically accept the certificate" option enabled and sometimes I see:


Other times, if I wait, a "T" char is outputted:


Also, "Automatically delete profile on close" doesn't work, it remains saved within the client.

Any help?

Thanks
