Running Post VPN Login Script

I have been getting asked this question since this coronavirus thing started.  I decided I would address it with an article.  So the use case is:  You want to run a script after the user logs in.  This could be like mapping / mounting a share, running an application, etc.

I wrote an article about packaging the FortiClient.  You can follow the same process however there is another section you need to modify.

On Connect

Windows

Option I

<on_connect>     <script>      <os>windows</os>         <script>          <script>               <![CDATA[                 net use x: \\10.1.1.43\home /user:mfernandez                  md c:\inbox                 copy x:\outbox\*.* c:\inbox                ]]>               </script>            </script>        </script> </on_connect>

Option II

I updated this to show how you can run a batch file or script file.

<on_connect>    <script>      <os>windows</os>        <script>          <script>              <![CDATA[                  Script "C:\ournetwork\NETLOGON\manny.bat"               ]]>          </script>        </script>       </script> </on_connect>

macOS X

In a macOS X environment,

<on_connect>     <script>       <os>mac</os>        <script>          /bin/mkdir /Volumes/Share1          mount -F smbfs -o user=root,domain=monkey //server.myinfosec/tmp /Volumes/Sahre1        </script>      </script> </on_connect>

On Disconnect

Windows

Similar to the On Connect (as above), we can also run scripts when you disconnect.

<on_disconnect>     <script>       <os>windows</os>        <script>         <script>            <![CDATA[             net use x: /DELETE             ]]>          </script>         </script>     </script>  </on_disconnect>

macOS X

<on_disconnect>      <script>        <os>mac</os>         <script>           /sbin/umount /Volumes/Share1        </script>      </script>  </on_disconnect>
