Hello,
can be it be done (without 3rd party tools) or is the feature planned? It would very much make lots of things way easier here...
Thanks

Sorry, this landed in the wrong forum: the question pertains to the windows version. Please move the post. Thank you.

Hi datevat,

This is currently not possible with Viscosity but is a planned feature.

Eric

I found some older references, so while I'm happy it's planned, I would very much welcome it as a feature.
Thanks

It's been over a year and a half since this has been brought up. From what I can tell, this feature is still not available. Am I missing something? Is this feature still planned? Has it been dropped?

Thanks.

Hi jshotrosky,

This is still something we plan to do, however as it hasn't been highly requested compared to other features it hasn't been a priority to implement.

Regards,
Eric

2 things I'm trying to accomplish for remote workstations

1. Get Computer GPOs to apply (happens at startup before the user signs in)
2. Let a user sign in with their domain account on a new computer (for when a replacement computer is shipped to them)

I've looked into third party apps to run Viscosity as a service. AlwaysUp works but the cost is pretty high. I also tried NSSM but I could never configure it correctly.

not sure this will help

i keep the username and paswords in keepass.
some vpn connections require a OTP

i have a autohotkey script that calculates the OTP and starts the vpn connection, auto-types username, password, OTP.
autohotkey can do most anything.

AHK doesn't help with Viscosity's inability to run before a user session starts. What you're describing sounds like you're using AHK to automatically connect Viscosity when the user logs in. You can already do that if you use certificates for authentication instead of user credentials. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

I appreciate the suggestion though!
