Why a vnc Password on reverse connection with plugin secure

Post by Troopers »

Hi all!

I use a server with reverse connection i.e. :
on the client :

Code: Select all

vncviewer -listen 5900 -dsmplgin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm
on the server :

Code: Select all

winvnc -connect host:5900
with in the ultravnc.ini file :

Code: Select all

DSMPlugin=SecureVNCPlugin.dsm
DSMPluginConfig=SecureVNC;0;0x00104001;
SocketConnect=0
Then a vnc password is requred on the client..., why?
Is it possible to don't use a password?

Thanks

1) encryption use passwd as key -> server and viewer need to know the passwd
2) encryption use a key file, both server and viewer need to have the same key installed.

Try 2

That's by design the SecureVNC doing so.

Please see the following thread for detail.
