Connection to different VPNs

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 37

Hi,

I have a complicated task and I wonder if it is at all feasible to do it.

In my organization, we often log in to different computers via VPN.
These include Microsoft VPNs but also Open VPN, Forticlient, Stormshield, etc. When we connect VPN in the next step we connect to the remote computer via remote desktop.
Different server numbers, logins and passwords are entered at each step. These are fixed for each VPN and rarely change.
Is it possible, using Power apps, to configure the application so that it connects to remote computers after selecting the appropriate server from the list.
All VPN applications that is Open VPN, Forticlient are on each of the computers with employees, they are not in the cloud.
Does anyone have any idea how such a business problem could be solved?

The idea is simple. The user selects a server, selects the remote computer to which he wants to log in and after pressing a button he logs in.

    There is no dashboard type thing I am aware you could build that would do this. Because it doesn't have the ability to remote desktop connect, no.

     

    So you would need it to trigger whatever app is installed, that would connect them. So no, based on how you described it, its not possible.


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers
