Query UAC with UAC disconnect under Windows 10

Post by ouba974 »

Hi all, and hi Rudi De Vos,

I install the last Uvnc client to my Windows 10 computer with this parameters :

QuerySetting=4
QueryTimeout=30
QueryAccept=0
QueryIfNoLogon=0

The behaviour that i have is that the uvnc server disconnect the uvnc client when a UAC windows appears and we can't reconnect to the computer (and the UAC windows is still open)..

Is there a special parameter to put ?

I read things about the QueryAccept 2 parameters ... what does it do ?

Thanks a lot and sorry for my English...

Bye !

Try
QueryAccept=2 and QueryIfNoLogon=0


QueryIfNoLogon=0: Only show accept/rejectbox when user is logged

QueryAccept=2: If user is logged, but the desktop is not the default desktop, auto accept the connection.
There is still a popup, but the default behaviour is to accept the connect.

non default deskops are: screensaver/secure desktop ( user switch/logon/uac)

There is a period the user don't need to give permission, to minimize this use screensaver with lock.

Hi,

Thanks a lot !

It did the trick ... with different behavior :

On Windows 7, the client just says that it will reconnect in 3,2,1 and reconnect itself... On Windows 10, the client disconnect directly, and we have to re-start it...

A little "but" about security : during this "non default desktop" period, someone could connect without query ... is this secure ?

Perhaps it could be an kind of enhancement for next version ... ;-)

Thanks again and Vive UltraVNC !!!

PS : Sorry for my English again...

The reconnect of the client is a viewer option.

Hi,

Yes !!! Exactly ...

I don't know why this client had a 0 parameter for reconnect... :-)

Thanks a lot again !

This could be part of my problem I think. What settings would basically say always allow connections, no accept required?

AuthHosts=+:

Allow all connections
