Agilicus Launcher Desktop Configuration

The Agilicus Launcher provides a means of interacting with the user for the purposes of:

launch a desktop application with wrapped networking
mount / update mount on a share
ssh proxy command

It may be used standalone, or, directly integrated to a browser. This can be particularly useful to:

allow a system-administrator to manage applications and shares remotely via an API
provide multi-factor authentication on a Share
Automatically configure putty, openssh for SSH access
run a desktop application with wrapped networking

When installed in this mode, the Launcher will update itself periodically as it is run. It will initially query the user, and, then, interact again as needed to refresh credentials.

The user installation is very simple: download and run a single file. It will place an entry on the users’s menu called ‘Refresh’ as well as one icon per Launcher. The user can now launch individual applications via an icon. Or, if needed, the user can refresh their shared drives (optionally being forced to re-authenticate with multi-factor authentication) by selecting Refresh.
