VNC-server: password decryption possible without plugins?

Post by buggybunny »

Hi folks,

i searched this forum, google and the faqs. I am pretty sure that what i want is impossible, but i ask anyway.... :wink:

Prehistory:

When i call up the java-applet from the Command-Line Interface, i can pass the password for the vnc-server as an argument like this:

Code: Select all

java -cp VncViewer-1.02.3.jar VncViewer HOSTIP 123.234.345.456 PORT 5900 VNCUSER foo PASSWORD bar
What i want:

-> I want to pass an encrypted password to the java-applet like this

Code: Select all

java -cp VncViewer-1.02.3.jar VncViewer HOSTIP 123.234.345.456 PORT 5900 VNCUSER foo PASSWORD 5Z$§%OPU
-> The VNC-server has the key for this password, decrypts it and initiates the session

The question:

-> Is this possible? If yes, how? Any chance to configure the vnc-server accordingly or to patch it?
-> I know about the DSM-plugins, but they don't work with the java-applet and i need such a solution exclusively for the java-applet

Any ideas?
