No Offline mode and VPNs
I'm getting some reports that users who have had their accounts set to disable offline mode aren't able to use connections that require VPN connections that prevent access to the SQL Server that the session is configured on. (I don't currently have the ability to verify this; I'll try to do it later.)
Is there any way to have connections that run a VPN before start cache the authentication data (in memory, obviously) before the VPN connection is made?

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand, if you disable the Offline mode, the VPN connection must be opened before without RDM.
Let me know if I'm completely wrong.

Sorry. This one's kind of complicated.
1) Run RDM with Offline mode disabled
2) Connect to VPN
2a) VPN doesn't allow "split tunneling" and breaks the connection to RDM's SQL Server
3) Try to connect to RDM session, but can't because you're "offline" and can't get the username/password
What I'm requesting is:
If the VPN connection happens automatically through RDM as part of the session, RDM should cache the username and password in memory before starting the VPN, assuming that it's going to be offline when it finally connects to the session. (Or there should be an option to do that.)
Hi,
Thank you for the explanation. I added entry in our todo database.
