Ambiguous 'account' names

Reported by: dre@mac.com Assigned to: andrei

Description

When creating multiple accounts that differ only in the SSH port used when initiating the tunnel, the accounts are not differentiated in the menu. This makes it confusing when configuring tunnels which use these accounts. Consider adding an optional 'display name' for accounts, or some other way to tell such accounts appart from the 'Account' popup menu.

  • milestone set to AlmostVPN 0.9.6.

Fair point. Will be fixed in next release.

Actually, it is even worse then you think. In current state, AlmostVPN will not be able save/restore properly accounts with the same display name. Sorry.

heh, yes I think I noticed that when I was making changes to an account that had the same name as another account. I can probably work around this by creating local host aliases so that the hostnames I'm using for the different tunnels to the same machine are unique.

Dre,

Do not bother with aliases. I will have 0.9.5+ ready in a few minutes.

Fixed. You can try it here. Build 0.9.5+

  • Port other then 22 will become part of display name

Thanks for the super fast response on this!

I have downloaded the new version. Unfortunately, it appears to be trying to connect to the new display name, which includes ":port".

e.g.

Nov 30 16:07:38 dre sudo: andre : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/bash -c source /Users/andre/Library/PreferencePanes/AlmostVPN.prefPane/Contents/Resources/utils.sh;echo | doSSH -g -o \"UserKnownHostsFile?=/Users/andre/.ssh/known_hosts\" \"-o\" \"ConnectTimeout?=0\" \"-o\" \"TCPKeepAlive=yes\" \"-i\" \"~/.ssh/id_rsa\" \"-p\" \"1314\" \"-L\" \"4242:my.box.com:3689\" \"andre@my.box.com:1314\" -N

and

ssh: idio.dreness.com:1314: No address associated with nodename

Naturally, it is unable to resolve the host my.box.com:1314.

Solved in the updated 0.9.5+
