Cisco AnyConnect VPN client - force to write to the open console, not simply send keystrokes

I often get chats while opening a VPN connection. If you try to skype, the RemoteDesktopManager implementation for this VPN is stupidly writing into the focused chat window and sends the ID of the VPN, the username and the password to the chatpartner.

I now had three times my VPN account compromised due to this issue.

Please change this behavior. You could probalby guess the handle of the opened console window and write the text directly to that handle and do not blindly fire keystrokes to the system, regardles what application currently has the focus.

I will check if we can improve this add-on.

Hello,

We can't directly send the text to the application, so the next best thing we can do is force the focus of the window before sending the message. It should have been doing this already but there might have been an issue. Could you try the version I attached to this post? You can install it by putting the DLL in %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager. Replace the "RemoteDesktopManager" part by "RemoteDesktopManagerFree" if you're on the free version.

Regards,
