Question

Auto connect SSL VPN with windows Stratup

Is it possible to auto connect Forticlient ssl vpn before windows login?

 

Presently we are using Hamachi VPN, it is connecting automatically with windows startup.

 

Some of my remote servers are restarting on daily schedules. After rebooting the servers, VPN should connect automatically.

 

I have tested with Forticlient ssl vpn, it is asking user name and password of VPN connection with windows login or it is connecting automatically after windows login. I need to enter manually the user name and password of VPN with windows login. My servers are in remote location and no one is available there to enter user name and password manually

 

So I want the SSL VPN should connect automatically with windows startup. It should not ask or wait till manual entering the VPN credentials.

 

 

Thanks

Ramesh

Hi

 

this is possible based on SSL-VPN and FortiClient as command line option. Options see below or to attached printscreen:

Hi Andrea,

 

Thanks for your response.

I have created  a batch file with following script.

 

cd C:\SSLVPNcmdline FortiSSLVPNclient.exe connect -s ned

 

batch file is working, but how can I make it in windows startup?

I have added  a startup task to run the .bat file in Task Scheduler. It is not starting the VPN.
