is there a way to omit dsm plugin and not require a password

Post by jawz101 »

I'm implementing this inhouse for LAN only use and really don't care about encryption since I'm not setting up my repeater/firewall for external use. Would rather it not have a password to use it when the viewer and host have already exchanged the session id.

Also, is there a way to add schook.dll and vnchooks.dll to the installation package? Wouldn't it speed things up or is it necessary?

I haven't tested it but you should be able to just add the password to ChunkViewer's command line.

ChunkVNC 3.2
Edit file SRC\ChunkViewer.au3
LINE: 135
Change:

Code: Select all

ShellExecute( @ScriptDir & "\Bin\vncviewer.exe", "-proxy " & $RepeaterAddress & " ID:" & $IDNumber & " -quickoption " & $Quality & " -keepalive 1 -dsmplugin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm" )
to:

Code: Select all

ShellExecute( @ScriptDir & "\Bin\vncviewer.exe", "-proxy " & $RepeaterAddress & " ID:" & $IDNumber & " -quickoption -password CLEARTEXTPASSWORD " & $Quality & " -keepalive 1 -dsmplugin SecureVNCPlugin.dsm" )
Replace CLEARTEXTPASSWORD with your password.


The hook dll's were part of ChunkVNC in the past but have been removed because they are closed source.

I think the mirror driver would give you a good increase in performance but the added latency of the repeater will never be as good as a direct connection for LAN.

thanks. that didn't work for me- threw errors & wouldn't open when I added those switches

I worked around & ommited references to the dsm plugin for the viewer & server and it skipped password prompting all together. as mentioned before I'm not as concerned with encrypting brief remote support connections on a small LAN so it works out nicely this way.

Sorry the code didn't work, I'll add it as a feature for the next release to save the password.
