Description

Hi,

My company uses a token generator to generate a password for my ssh tunnel. So I have to start almost VPN from the prefpane to be able to enter a password for my connection. It would be nice to be able to enter a password in the widget or let the widget prompt for a password when starting the ssh connection.

Kind regards, Eelco

Eelco, I will try to squeeze it into next release 0.9.3. Meanwhile, could you please answer one question. How often new password gets generated? Do you need to enter new password each time you start tunnel? Andrei

From e-mail response:

Hi Andrei,

Thanks for thinking about fitting this feature into the widget! My password is only valid a few minutes so I have to enter it every time I setup a new ssh session. So yes, every time a start a new tunnel I have to use a different password.

Regards, Eelco

Bad news is that as of now, I can not figure-out "correct" way to do it. Good news is that I have implemented temporary workaround. To make AlmostVPN ask for the password every time it needs it you need to do following:

  1. use special word "@ask@" as a password
  2. create empty file ~/Library/Applications Support/AlmostVPN/panther

NOTE: when widget used to start profile, dialog asking for the password will appear "under" dashboard. You need to dismiss dashboard to be able to type in a password

Final solution postponed until I figure out how to deal with it.

I think I fixed it for good. It is not necessary to do "panther" thing anymore.
