Hello,

Does VPNAddOn.dll 3.0.17.0 work with RDM version 11.0.8.0?

The VPNAddOn.dll 3.0.17.0 does not work with version 11.0.8.0. it gives the same behavior.

Thank you, we will investigate this issue. We might need you to test the end product since we don't have the environment to test this add-on.

The one thing we did change between 3.0.16.0 and 3.0.17.0 in regards to Cisco AnyConnect is the method we use to focus the window. The reason we changed this was to fix an issue ( https://forum.devolutions.net/topic24404-cisco-anyconnect-vpn-client--force-to-write-to-the-open-console-not-simply-send-keystrokes.aspx ).

This is probably what caused your problem. I'm guessing the prompt for "Connect anyway" opens, and when we try to accept it it refocuses the main part of the VPN rather than that prompt, so the accepting doesn't work. The only thing we can do to support both fixes is put an option for the method of focusing we use. We'll add this soon. I'll link you with a version of the add-on for testing when it is ready.

Hello,

I attached to this post a new version of the add-on. I think there was something wrong with how we implemented the Connect Anyway accepting, and this version might fix it. Could you give it a try? Just install it in %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager. There is no option to change in your AnyConnect entries.
