Autostart Anyconnect and then autostart application

Hi,

We are looking at the following scenario.

Today a user start their laptop, and right before the bios loads, it asks for fingerprint. Then the user authenticates with his/her finger and it load windows and automatically login, so its SSO.

What we would like is that Cisco Anyconnect will automatically start and login to a VPN site, and after a successfully login, it will start an RDP session automatically. So at the end you will be logged into the remote machine just by using your finger.

Does anybody know how to automatically start and login with Anyconnect, and then again automatically start and login with RDP ?

The best would be that the users never see the regular Windows desktop on the laptop at all....

Thanks for reply.

Regards

Andreas

You can use the Always-On feature of Anyconnect to automate VPN connection when on an untrusted network. If you use certificates as authentication mechanism, it will not prompt the user for any credentials. You can then use the OnConnect script feature to run a seperate batch or vbs script to launch the remote desktop after successful VPN connection.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

Ok, never heard about that feature. I am not a network guy, so is this something the network admin needs to configure on the ASA box ? We don`t use certificates, so will it then prompt me for username and password ? If so is there a way to go around this.... This is just a demo environment.
