Push enable Autostart to all company users (mac)

Pritunl Pritunl VPN

Hey community, hope you’re all doing great

Our company faces the classic issue of the employees not connecting to the VPN / forgetting the PIN etc, which gives us IT guys a ton of tickets that we could theoritically get rid of easily

The autostart in Pritunl’s app coupled with the forced app opening at login from Jamf would get us through a lot (though for those using MFA, there’s probably no way of doing it)

I got Jamf to launch Pritunl when logging in the laptop as desired, but I can’t find a way to enable autostart remotely for the users.

In Pritunl’s Admin Dashboard there are no options that seem to do the trick.

Had some hope when I found out that enabling autostart moves the profile .conf from user to system, but when comparing the two contents they’re not the same file anymore argargouille

Anyone has a clue on how to do that ?

Thanks in advance !

Enabling autostart on a user profile will first convert the profile to a system profile which will allow the profile to start before any users have logged in. User profiles cannot be automatically started. The process of converting a user profile to a system profile requires getting the keys from the users keychain and converting the profile format. There isn’t any commands to automate this process. The CLI client at /Applications/Pritunl.app/Contents/Resources/pritunl-client can be used to automate adding a new system profile. The CLI client will only manage system profiles.
