Re: Fwd: EVFA9112 during startup when not connected

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve, this is just a quick update.

I just had an occasion to try to start RDi 9.6.0.5 when not connected to 
the previous VPN.  I was connected to a VPN, but the previous open 
connection was to a machine on a different VPN.  In any event, I had to 
cycle through the 20-30 second connection signon/failure five times 
before I was able to get into RDi.

Please note that the Work offline option isn't really an option unless I 
ALWAYS set the option to offline every time I close RDi.  The 
requirement to work on a different VPN isn't something I know ahead of 
time, and once I do know, I can't switch the connection offline because 
I have to start RDi to make it offline!  So the only way I could do this 
would be to first connect to the previous VPN, mark that connection as 
offline, then disconnect the VPN and connect to the /other/ VPN, and 
then connect to that machine.

Not exactly elegant.  It would be nice to have a way to shortcut this.

A possible compromise would be that after an initial connection attempt 
that the tool pop up a window that asks "Do you wish to mark all your 
connections offline?" That would be a good thing to have.

The Verifier will continue to work, and you can freely code on any of your open members. When you have access to the VPN or your internal network at the office, simply un-check "Work offline" and the system will re-connect.
