New grommunio-desk package available

WalterH

Grommunio Desk V 1.0 for Linux, Mac, and Windows is available in the Downloads section. https://download.grommunio.com/desk/

Grommunio Desk still does not store passwords. However, with the grommunio-auth package, grommunio offers a Keycloak server and the “Remember Password” feature, allowing users to log in without a password.

Thanks for that information, was not known. In which way is possible to use the grommunio-auth package?

Hallo Walter,

wie meinst du das mit dem “Remember Password” feature ?

WalterH

MichaelN Das ist ein Feature vom Keycloak. Damit kann man das Feature der Kopano Deskapp das die das Passwort speichern kann emulieren.

Currently, there is unfortunately no updated version available for macOS. With version 1.0.0, we are experiencing significant issues with copy and paste functionality. As this feature is essential, the client is not practically usable for us in its current state.

Nearly after the 1.0 release I created a support ticket and they gave it to the development team. So I hope, it will be fixed soon. And the user feeling with this app is not the same like with other macOS Apps: CMD Q is not working, for example.

@freiser @TGM Thanks for the feedback.

The macOS 1.1.0 builds (ARM and x64) are currently being prepared and should land on the download page shortly. To set expectations: 1.1.0 does not yet include the macOS-specific fixes.

The macOS-native quirks (copy/paste behavior, CMD-Q etc.) are already fixed on our side and will ship with the upcoming 1.2.0 release.

jukromer thanks for the reply. Sounds good and then I will wait for the 1.2.0 release.

Question: How I can pre-configure the server via JAMF? Is this possible? For Windows it would be also interesting to pre-configure the server via MDM systems like OPSI for example.

Hey,

short answer: there's no real built-in way to push the server config via JAMF or OPSI yet. grommunio Desk doesn't have a managed-config / provisioning layer at the moment.

What you can do for now: the server profile just lives in a config.json per user. Paths are:

Windows: %APPDATA%\grommunio Desk\config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/grommunio Desk/config.json
Linux: ~/.config/grommunio Desk/config.json

So you could set the client up once, grab that config.json and deploy it as a template through OPSI or JAMF into the user profiles. Just keep in mind it's per-user, so it has to land in each profile (login script or similar), and the format isn't really fixed yet, it might still change before 1.2.0. So more of a workaround than something I'd fully rely on for now.

If proper MDM support is important for you, best thing is to drop a feature request here so it doesn't get lost: https://github.com/grommunio/grommunio-desk/issues
