Running Post VPN Login Script

I have been getting asked this question since this coronavirus thing started.  I decided I would address it with an article.  So the use case is:  You want to run a script after the user logs in.  This could be like mapping / mounting a share, running an application, etc.

I wrote an article about packaging the FortiClient.  You can follow the same process however there is another section you need to modify.

On Connect

Windows

Option I

<on_connect> 
   <script>
     <os>windows</os> 
       <script>
         <script> 
             <![CDATA[
                net use x: \\10.1.1.43\home /user:mfernandez 
                md c:\inbox
                copy x:\outbox\*.* c:\inbox
               ]]> 
             </script>
           </script> 
      </script>
</on_connect>

Option II

I updated this to show how you can run a batch file or script file.

<on_connect>
   <script>
     <os>windows</os>
       <script>
         <script>
             <![CDATA[
                 Script "C:\ournetwork\NETLOGON\manny.bat"
              ]]>
         </script>
       </script>
      </script>
</on_connect>

macOS X

In a macOS X environment,

<on_connect> 
   <script>
      <os>mac</os> 
      <script>
         /bin/mkdir /Volumes/Share1
         mount -F smbfs -o user=root,domain=monkey //server.myinfosec/tmp /Volumes/Sahre1 
      </script> 
    </script>
</on_connect>

On Disconnect

Windows

Similar to the On Connect (as above), we can also run scripts when you disconnect.

<on_disconnect> 
   <script>
      <os>windows</os> 
      <script>
        <script> 
          <![CDATA[
            net use x: /DELETE 
           ]]>
         </script> 
       </script>
    </script> 
</on_disconnect>

macOS X

<on_disconnect> 
    <script>
       <os>mac</os> 
       <script>
          /sbin/umount /Volumes/Share1
       </script>
     </script> 
</on_disconnect>
