Veyon Classroom Management - Cant Login With Interactive Logon Message

[Fazza]

I'm taking a look at Veyon for the first time and we've hit our first stumbling block - we cant log on to any of our computers as we use an Interactive Logon Message that has part of our Acceptable Use Agreement on it that you have to press OK on before you get to enter your username and password.

 

When trying to Log in using Veyon it doesn't seem to be aware of the Interactive Logon Message so when I try to log in no username or password is entered.

 

In the past we've used solutions like Impero and NetSupport and they had no issue with the logon message that you must click on OK to before the username and password boxes pop up - is there a setting somewhere that I've missed in Veyon or will it not work in our environment?

https://docs.veyon.io/en/latest/admin/platform-notes.html seems like you have to turn it off

Thanks for the reply! I don't seem to be able to find the authentication method setting in the Veyon Configurator or is this something I need to change/test in a settings file or something?

Just found the 'Advanced' option on the top menu so I can now see the setting!

I'd be interested to know how you get on as it's something I've been meaning to test but keeps slipping down the list.

I need to be able to log in to a whole computer suite at once but unfortunately as we use an 'Interactive Logon Message' with parts of our Acceptable Use Agreement in it that you must click on OK before the username and password boxes appear and this isnt a supported feature (or at least I cant get it to work with) Veyon.

 

 

No central server is required and all you do is install it on a Client computer and un-tick the box that installs the Master program, whereas on the Teachers/Technicians computer you install the Master as well. It comes with a configuration program that you set up to work how you want it to work and then export/save it as a .json file which you can then reference in a silent install command when installing on to your computers going forward.

 

One other thing I noticed is that when testing, it's best to use physical machines rather than a VM is for me, when I tried it in Hyper-V when trying to remotely control the client it didnt work, now I have a physical desktop it does.

No one reads those AUA anyway, so it's of little point

Reading them is of little importance. Accepting them however, is. (Whether that stands up in court, disciplinary hearing, expulsion hearing etc is something else though!)

Except in disciplinary hearings and courts of law...

Just get them to sign the policy when they're first employed, not like you're letting random people login, you created a username for each person

We don't employ Students at our Academies so this is a moot point and does not help people who use Interactive Logon Message and want to use Veyon to log on to a computer remotely.

We get everyone to sign their AUP when they join the school, staff and students.
