How bypass the login/password window when Eddie starts (Mac osx)

[Guest]

Hi,

 

very problematic for me, because my kids use the computer. If they click on "cancel", VPN doesn't starts !

 

Is there a workaround to bypass the login/password window when Eddie starts (Mac osx Mojave) ?

 

Thank you

Hi,

 

If you use default Eddie client then make a file 

 

com.autorun.eddie.plist 

 

 in:

 

 /Library/LaunchDaemons

with content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>UserName</key>
        <string>root</string>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>com.autorun.eddie</string>
        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/Eddie</string>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

 

Then copy your .airvpn folder from home directory using 

sudo cp -r ~/.airvpn / 

After restarting your computer Eddie will autostart. In Eddie preferences you'll need to check Connect at startup.

Hello!

 

As much risk as there is, willfully bypassing a security measure

Basically the LaunchDaemon trick is to run the Eddie process as root user. The username and password prompt is to allow temporary privilege escalation to run parts of Eddie as the root user.

While you can bypass this, you should NOT.
