Authentication type is invalid. - error

Post by spurspld »

Hello,

I have used UltraVNC for years, without any issues. Since November I can't log to other computers and I receive an error "Authentication type is invalid" when I try to log in. I use UltraVNC in domain environment. I have nearly 30 PC's and this error appears in all of them.
Does anyone have met the same error ?

Are you mixing ultravnc with real or tightvnc ?
Both flavors need to understand the same auth type

No, I use central deployment system and every host uses same version of UltraVNC 1.0.9.6
Since two week I am testing the newest available version 1.2.2.3 but the error remains the same

1.0.9.6 use an older rfb protocl. (RFB 3.3)
1.2.2.3 use RFB 3.8
Looks like you are mixing rfb protocols

Are you using a vnc password, mslogon with groups, user/passwd.

Take you own pc.
Download the zip 1224, and extract it to a temp folder.
Now start winvnc, it just ask to set a password ( all is stored in the same folder as winvnc.exe)
Run vncviewer on the same pc and connect to localhost, enter the passwd

I usual extract the zip on 2 usb sticks instead of a temp folder, then i can move and test the same config on all pc"s.

Next try between 2 pc's, both directions
