Endpoint Security Windows client start with blank username

gto_gary — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 21:03:57 GMT

Hello,

I have a question that I am having a difficult time with, and I hope the community can help...

I was posed with a requirement that when a user logs into the Endpoint Security VPN windows/mac client the username field must be blank, so each time a user logs in they must enter a username and password.

Currently the username is saved from the previous login and I am having trouble finding how to prevent this.

I went through trac.defaults and the ttm file on the respective gateway but could not find anything that stood out as a possible solution.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

gto_gary

Don’t believe there’s an option for this.
Whats the logic behind this request?

It was a question posed by our compliance team. I can get more detail around the context if needed. In short they want users to have to type in a username and a passord so that if another person walked up to a unlocked machine they would need to know both.

Is there anyway to confirm that this is not possible?

Thanks again!!!

Confirmed this is expected behavior and can’t be disabled.
