UltraVNC

So, did you copy the plugin as well in the folder of UltraVNC on your Laptop? Is it on the server and on the laptop? Is it activated for use on both sides?

It's quite simple - first of all try to connect without encryption. If this works try to set encryption on. If it doesn't work, make trial ...

Hi Brent,
So you wind up with 2 passwords, one for VNC and one for the plugin? Would you recommend SecureVNC or AESV3PluginMT? Seems like SecureVNC would be easier to use but my IT contact likes AES. Thanks, Brent
No, you only have one password. The plugin doesn't need another one. My description ...

Hi Brent,

It's quite easy, just put the DSM plugin in the same folder. Afterwards you can check the DSM plugin on the setting screen. After having done this you should inform the people of the Password you set for the plugin. I personally wouldn't send it by email, but it depends where those people ...

Hi Cleo,

Same question to you, why do you use the old encryption plugin from 2006? Did you see this thread here already:

[topic=15840][/topic]

You can download the new plugins from here:

http://adamwalling.com/SecureVNC/

In my opinion, they are a bit more userfriendly. Just give it a try ...

Hi Ol,

It's funny that you're still stuck with the old plugin. Adam (scovel) wrote those some years ago, they still needed those public and private keys. In my opinion not very handy, it makes the whole thing more complicated.

The new SecureVNCPlugin is easier to use and already implements those ...

Ol,

Sorry, but I don't get it what exactly you're trying to do. Why do you use an "old" encryption plugin from 2006? Don't you know, that scovel (the programer of those plugins) doesn't update those anymore? :tomato:

Now it's admz, who took a look into them. And he wrote the new plugins. They are ...

@Ol,
do you think its a good idea (more secure) to use those 3files? it gives me in fact a more secure connection?
Server_ClientAuth.pubkey
Server_SecureVNC.pkey
Viewer_ClientAuth.pkey

using the MSRC4Plugin I used to use before, we need to have the same rc4.key file on sever and viewer.
what ...

And in my humble opinion, the AES encryption is safer than the rest of the plugins. Even tough we are talking about theoretical possibilities, I like it more.

Hi Montag,

Let's recapitulate: you got two different servers, one has Windows XP with AESv2 and another one has Windows XP with AESv3? Do those servers have 32- or 64 bit Windows installed?

And to the clients - you're talking about 200+ - what Windows do they have installed - Windows 64-bit?

Did ...

Montag,

Perhaps I don't get it right, but don't you use the plugin SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm, which is the newest one for AES?

SecureVNC DSM Plugin

Adam has written this for x64 and Windows XP, Vista & 7. Have you already tried to use this plugin in your setup?

Cobra

Montag,

The question is how you set your server and how you set your viewer. Can you make a screenshot of both and show us how you set those?

Thanks,

Cobra

Hi Montag,

What about that:

Hi Rudi,

Wow... What a fast reply - better than any paid service support agreement! I'm aware of this workaround. But is there a possibility to save those settings via Admin Properties?

Thanks for your excellent support!

Hi everyone,

I just installed UltraVNC v1.0.8.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I encountered the same problems as I reported before under Windows Vista (see posts above). There's no possibility to save the changes in the configuration via the icon in the taskbar -> Admin Properties. I had to use the menu ...

That's why I don't like it and why I don't trust it... Therefore I still prefer the AES version.

...and yes, I have paranoia...

Cool! I'll test it out as soon as my server is up and running again. The power supply died after almost 10 years...

Hi Adam,

I just tested the new plugin. Everything works fine so far! Now I even can reconnect several times without any issues. Great work!

Is it normal that when I first start the connection that it lasts quite a while until the password popup shows up?

Cobra

Hi guys,

O.K. - I can give you some feedback now. It seems that I did something wrong in the setup section. I could now test the AESv3 Plugin. It works very smooth without problems. And it is very fast!

There's only one thing I mentioned. After closing the window I tried to initiate another ...

Hi YY,

Right, this popup showed up, but I did exactly what you mentioned. I'll give it a try this evening again to see if I did something wrong. I will also try it from another machine (until now: viewer v1.0.6.0 on Vista - this evening: viewer v1.0.6.0 on XP SP3).

Thanks for your help & best ...

Hi guys,

I would love to test it but unfortunately I run into huge problems with the UltraVNC server... It all began with version 1.0.5.6 already. I updated it to version 1.0.6.2 but the errors are the same. It seems to be a little buggy...

Let me tell you, what's happening on my remote computer ...

Cool stuff! We finally found someone who is a valuable successor! I'm glad to have you onboard adzm!

Best regards,

Hi redge,

Thanks for the update. Not yet official isn't it? I just found a pre-release in the "1.0.6.0 stable" section. Or is there another download section, where I can take it from?

Regards,

Cobra

Hi redge,
test by Scovel (developer of encryption plugin) under OS vista

known issue with AESv2
no problem with ARC4
no problem with MSRC4 (also verified by redge since 1.0.5.7.4 but another major issue unrelated to dsmplugin)
for the fix. next week.
waiting back of Rudi after her commercial ...

Hi guys,

I have a strange behaviour with the AESV2Plugin.dsm (Version 1.0.0 RC3). If I run it on a Vista machine with the newest UltraVNC viewer v1.0.5.6, it crashes when I try to make use of the AESV2 Plugin. When I'm not using encryption everything works fine and I can connect to the server.

On ...

Hi Sean,

I haven't been around for quite a while. As I've seen you wrote some new AES-Plugins. What is exactly the difference between them ( AESV2Plugin100RC1/RC2/RC3) and the "old" AESV2Plugin002.zip which I'm using (and I'm very, very happy with it).

As always: Thanks for the good work you do ...

Sean,

As you certainly know I absolutely love the AES-Plugin! I think it's a) the most secure one and b) the one with the brightest future. Let's say RC4 is getting old...

Best regards,

Cobra

Hi Sean,

Ah, interesting. I have some Linux boxes like that. Actually I inherited a 16 port KVM awhile back, so all my machines have "heads" at the moment.

I know the KVM solution, that's a nice possibility to connect to different computers and using just one screen, mouse and keyboard. But ...

Sean,

As far as changing plugins. If you are sitting at the server's console, and there are no connections, you should just be able to switch plugins. Worst-case, you should have to restart the service.

That's why I'm asking. My server machine doesn't have keyboard, mouse nor screen. It's just ...

Hi Scovel,

Ok, its up there. I cleaned up the zip files too. They shouldn't have any "extras" in there anymore.

O.K. I downloaded the files and installed them on the machines. Now it's running fine with both encryption keys! Very smooth & nice! Great work!! I guess you reached production status ...

Hi Scovel,

Depending on where you make the change from (local or remote) you may need to restart the service before it will change plugins.

That's what I always did on my remote machine (server).

You might want to download the plugins again if you downloaded before Monday afternoon. I had a ...
