Always connect on logon

[Deas73]

Hello,

we changed from Cisco AnyConnect to Globalprotect in the last few weeks. Basically everything works as expected, but one thing we miss. Globaprotect is configured to connect automatically when the user signs into Windows. But our users are allowed to disconnect their VPN. If they disconnect it and turn of, log off or reboot their PC, Globalprotect does not reconnect automatically after login. With AnyConnect this was working. We found a setting where we could set a auto reconnect after x hours, but that does not do the trick.

We also found the registry keys where Globalprotect stores the reconnect behaviour, but when we try to set them via logoff script or something like this, it does not work. Setting them manually by hand works, but this must be fool-proof for our users...

Is there a configuration setting we missed where we could achieve this? If not, is there a way to request such a behavior as feature request?

Thanks a lot for your help!

@pukpebor The case number is 02651649. The engineer's name was Atheer Al Shnawa.

Our Engineering developed the fix and decided to add it to GP release 6.2.1, the ETA of this release is the second half of Sept.

@pukpebor I haven't tested this again since then. If you can confirm this fix please let me know, thanks!

Hello. Has anyone found the fix yet? We're using client version 6.2.2, and users are not auto-reconnecting after disconnecting from VPN when restarting their laptops.
