Automated post-connection logon script

Sam Kirk

Hi folks,

 

I'm new to using the VPN's on the Sophos XG appliance, and I've been comparing the SSL VPN and the Sophos Connect clients.  One thing I've managed to achieve with the SSL is automating a 'logon script' once the VPN connection is made.  Has anyone managed to get this working with the Sophos Connect client?

 

I've enabled the 'Run logon script' in the Sophos Connect Admin for the connection profile, but sadly it doesn't appear to do anything (at least, it doesn't run the logon script I've assigned to my test user within AD on the Profile tab of the user).  I'm not sure if there is some way of specifying a particular script too - I've had a look at the .scx profile file but the only reference to scripts is "run_logon_script": true; (or false, presumably).  For the SSL VPN it's quite straight forward as all you need is a <ssl connection name>_up.bat in the config folder and it runs automatically, so I was hoping there would be something similar for Sophos Connect.

 

If anyone has managed to get this to work, any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

 

Sam

    Hi Jaydeep,

    Many thanks for your reply!

    That bit works fine, but I'd like to start a script file after the tunnel has been connected.  I've used the Sophos Connect admin tool to configure the .scx file for the VPN connection, but the bit I'd like to use, 'Run logon script' doesn't appear to actually run the Active Directory logon script (at least, I haven't managed to get it to successfully do anything):

    I was hoping that there may have been a method to specify a logon script to run, instead of the admin tool using the Active Directory logon script, but I'd settle for the AD script if needs be.

    I've managed to get this working fine for the SSL VPN Client, but not the Sophos Connect client - I'm trying to evaluate the two to determine which would be best to use organization-wide (there are pros and cons to both at the moment), and a post-connection logon script would be very useful.

    Many thanks,

    Sam

    Thanks for explaining.

    I now understand what exactly you're trying to achieve. I need to check more details with someone who has more hands-on experience with Logon script in Sophos Connect Client.
