Make VPN 1) reconnect to resume 2) reconnect on new connection

Currently the VPN connection get's disconnected if the phone is in idle state for a while. I assume it has to do with networking getting into idle state to preserve the battery life. However, when I resume working on iPhone the VPN connection should reconnect automatically. Right now I have to go through the menu every time to reconnect. That's a major security problem. If I don't reconnect it manually I am basically using the device without VPN. I am breaching security policy of our company and if data get's lost I will be on line for it. Back in those old Nokia days I could make the VPN encrypted connection mandatory and keep it permanently on.
Same happense in case when the connection (Wifi) get's lost and I reconnect again (same or different network). Same here, VPN would be disconnected and I have to manually reconnect. I can have the best secured connection SSL or L2DP/IPSec on the server side but what gives if the VPN on iPhone has the major bug above and poorly implemented. This has been persistant problem for many months and still not resolved.

Not sure if this helps, just an idea: in the iOS config profiles, when setting up the cisco VPN, if you use it in cert based mode, you can specify domains, which always invoke the VPN connection, even if was disconnected a while ago. I think this is a system wide settings, so if a third party app tries to connect to that domain, it starts the VPN too. We did not use or test this (only the mode which involves an RSA token and frequent reconnections ), but I am avare the possibility.

  • How to make VPN client auto timeout when it still idle?

    How to make VPN client auto disconnect when it still idle?
    Hi,I found some user still connected the VPN evenif they dose not use the VPN resouse.
    I try to set a "idle timeout" for the VPN configuration.
    We use PIX515 8.0.3 and CISCO ACS 4.2 for the VPN's connection and authentication,and the user use cisco vpn client for the connection.
    I have tried many methods,but all failured.
    First,I configed "vpn-idel-timeout 5" on PIX.It can not worked.
    so,I add Radius(CISCO VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0+) attribute "[026/3076/050] Authenticated-User-Idle-Timeout" on CISCO ACS,It still not worked.
    And I also add IETF RADIUS Attributes "[028] Idle-Timeout" on group setting on ACS,it always not worked.
    i found in vpn client's statistics,it always has some byte sended or received, i thought it maybe IPsec keepalive message or Radius message.
    This maybe the reason because the PIX or ACS think the vpn user is keep working.
    Can someone tell me how to make a "idle time out"?
    best regard.

    I found if I set up interface rules for VPN, even from higer security level interface to lower security level interface, the TCP session is not stateful.

  • Bug?  Reconnect is possible without having stored the connection's password

    I'm using SQLDeveloper Production release and created a connection to a database without the Save Password option checked.
    After having connected, doing some work, disconnecting from the database I wanted to connect to the same database with a different account so I chose Connect..., expecting SQLD to come up with a logon screen since I did not store the connection's password. It didn't. It logged on with the credentials from my previous session....
    René

    <SNIP>
    In the
    current situation I would need to quit SQLD or define
    a new connection or change the properties of the
    existing connection. I just would like to choose
    Connect on the DB1DEV Connection and log in as
    TARGET. Now, it just reconnects to the OWF_MGR
    schema.
    RenéAre you sure? My testing indicates that this is only a problem in the session where you create the connection. Subsequent sessions always prompt for a username and password.
    e.g
    1 Create a connection to DB1 as USER1. Don't save password.
    2 Disconnect.
    3 Reconnect - Reconnects as USER1.
    4 Quit SQLDeveloper
    5 Restart SQLDeveloper
    6 Reconnect - prompts for username and password. Connect as USER1
    7 Disconnect
    8 Reconnect - prompts for username and password. Connect as USER2
    etc...
    I agree it is should be treated as a bug, but it is relatively easily worked around.

  • Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later; Have been trying to fix for ages.

    Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'. I have been using google for ages and am not sure what I have missed.

  • How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

    Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
    It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
    Anyone have some ideas??
    Max

    They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
    How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
    Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
    I have over 3500 purchased
    Really?
    3500 purchased songs?

    Have you disabled any firewall and security/antivirus programs?  This seems to have helped the vast majority of people who have posted the same problem in this forum.

    I am having similar issues except that the store starts to load, then stops, then I only get iTunes Store in gray letters on a white screen. I can access playlist and the other stuff. Like flamesgirl, I contacted them and they just keep sending me links of stuff to try which I had already seen on the Apple website and nothing works. I posted the question on another forum I belong to and one responder said her husband was in an Apple store and asked about this problem as he was having the same issue. They said an update would be coming out soon as they were aware of the problem. Who knows.

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

  • Custom SSIS Source: How do I make it create a new connection manager and display its properties window?

    I am writing a custom SSIS source that uses a standard SSIS Flat File Connection Manager. I have got a working UI that shows all usable connection managers in a dropdown list and allows the user to pick one. I would like to be able to have a button that
    the user can click on to create a new connection manager, and it would open the properties window for the new connection manager so it can be set up.
    Abridged code:
    Public Class MyNewSourceUI
    Implements IDtsComponentUI
    Private MetaData As IDTSComponentMetaData100
    Public Function Edit(ByVal parentWindow As IWin32Window, _
    ByVal variables As Variables, _
    ByVal connections As Connections) As Boolean _
    Implements Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Design.IDtsComponentUI.Edit
    Dim UIwin As New MyNewSourcePropertiesWindow(MetaData, connections)
    Return (UIwin.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK)
    End Function
    Public Sub Initialize(ByVal dtsComponentMetadata As IDTSComponentMetaData100, _
    ByVal serviceProvider As System.IServiceProvider) _
    Implements Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Design.IDtsComponentUI.Initialize
    MetaData = dtsComponentMetadata
    End Sub
    End Class
    Public Class MyNewSourcePropertiesWindow
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Private _metadata As IDTSComponentMetaData100
    Private _cnxions As Connections
    Public Sub New(ByVal ComponentMetaData As IDTSComponentMetaData100, ByVal connections As Connections)
    InitializeComponent()
    _metadata = ComponentMetaData
    _cnxions = connections
    ShowConnections()
    'Setup Existing Metadata '
    End Sub
    Private Sub ShowConnections()
    Me.cboConnection.Items.Clear()
    Me.cboConnection.Items.AddRange((
    From i As ConnectionManager In _cnxions _
    Where CType(i.Properties("CreationName").GetValue(i), String) = "FLATFILE" _
    AndAlso CType(i.Properties("Format").GetValue(i), String) = "Delimited" _
    Select i.Name).ToArray())
    End Sub
    Private Sub btnNewConnection_Click(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as System.EventArgs) Handles btnNewConnection.Click
    Dim newconn As ConnectionManager = _cnxions.Add("FLATFILE")
    ShowConnections()
    Me.cboConnection.SelectedItem = newconn.Name
    End Sub
    Private Sub btnCancel_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCancel.Click
    Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel
    Me.Close()
    End Sub
    Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click
    'Store any metadata changes '
    Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
    Me.Close()
    End Sub
    End Class
    That's what I've got so far. I had assumed that adding a new connection would automatically display the properties window to the user (right?). However, in my tests, what actually happens is that it creates the new source with a random GUID for a name and no
    other properties set up, and puts it in the connections pane, and that's it. Not real useful.
    Obviously, something else is required to make the properties window appear, but I can't find what it is. There's no ShowUI() member on any of the classes I have, and I haven't been able to find out the name of the UI class that's used by the flat file source.
    Does anyone know how this is done? I know it can be done, because such a button exists in the normal Flat File Source UI.

    Yes, you need to drive the UI creation. I see you create a custom connection manager, in this case on how to build its UI please refer to http://kzhendev.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/part-2-adding-a-custom-ui-to-the-connection-manager/
