  • 1.  Master COnsole When Using a VPN and Remote Desktop

    Posted 01-16-2021 07:38

    Working with a customer, and she pointed this out:

    We successfully set up the IKEv2 VPN from her home laptop to the office, and she's connecting to her office desktop home.  Running Sage from the office desktop, everything looks to be working properly, but when she opens the "Master Console" to see who's running Sage 100, *her* "Station" is reported to be her home laptop name on the other end of the VPN link, _not_ the local workstation actually running Sage 100.  Moreover, to the left of that station name, there is an asterisk; none of the other users show that.

     This is very unusual--I'm not even sure how Sage 100 can figure out the remote end of a VPN and Remote Desktop connection, unless it's pulling the info from Windows Remote Desktop protocol.  Is that normal behavior?

    It's normal.

    Tis true.  I am RDP'd to my server and my laptop is the station logged into Sage.

    I imagine the "*" to the left of station means this is you.

    Not sure.  I just logged in via a local workstation (at the same time as the RDP session, but different user logins) and I have *'s beside both logins.
