Auto starting and auto connecting the AppGate client

Description:

It is possible to automatically launch the AppGate client as soon as the user logs in to his Windows session. It is also possible to make the AppGate client connect it self to a predefined AppGate server. In version 8.1 using the Kerberos as authentication method, the user could be authenticated using the Windows domain login credentials, which would result in a complete login without any user interaction.

Automatically launch the client

Assuming that the AppGate client is installed and you have a Short cut on the desktop. Simply drag the short cut to Start menu -> All Programs -> Startup

Automatically initiate connection

Right click on the AppGate short cut (in the Startup menu) and select Properties. In the Target field add the AppGate server name or IP number at the end.

Providing the Username

In pre 8.1 the AppGate client must have been started manually and connected once to the server in question. This is because it needs to have a username, which it then gets as a default from the stored settings in agclient.properties.

In 8.1 it is possible to use this syntax at the end of the Target line:

username@appgate-server-name
