Problems with password

Post by globoximator »

Hi,

I`'m new with chunkvnc. I compiled chunkvnc with the compiler.exe, but i need a password with least 9 characters. If I start the chunkviewer, I see the connection in the repeater log. So far everything works. But the chunkviewer asks for a password. In the password prompt I see that the input form is limited to 8 characters. I think that is why i can't get the connection working.

thx for helping

ChunkVNC 3.3 requires a password that is at least 9 characters in length mainly because SecureVNC will complain if it is any shorter.

You should absolutely be getting a password prompt when connecting ChunkViewer to an established ID number.
The only way around this would be to put your password in the chunkviewer.ini file, even so it will still ask you for a password if it is incorrect.

You should be able to type in a password of any length... Maybe there is a bug?

Could you try compiling with the default "password1" password and testing to see if you can make the connection?

hi globoximator
the password "password1" is used und usefull for the SecureVNCDSM Plugin (hash value, etc. ....)
you need the access to the ultravnc server. I think so.
Supercoe use the password "nerds" for full access and "view" for the only viewer mode for using ultravnc.
You can see and decrypted it in the "ultravnc.ini"-file in the subfolder \ChunkVNC_3_3\SRC\InstantSupport_Files.

If you want to create your own passwords (easyest way):
- start an editor and open the ultravnc.ini - file in \ChunkVNC_3_3\SRC\InstantSupport_Files
- delete the value on "passwd" and "passwd2"
- close the ultravnc.ini-file and save the changes
- start the ultravnc server and you will prompt to set new passwd and passwd2 by your own
- close the ultravnc - server and now you can use your own set passwords in the future :D

I can replicate the bug with the released 3.3 but not with my dev code for some reason.

I will fix it today, sorry about the problems!

Hmm, the plot thickens...
I was able to compile ChunkVNC 3.3 from http://www.chunkvnc.com as long as I wasn't already running an UltraVNC server.
I've modified the compiler to check for this case now.

tanza14,
Could you verify that compiling still fails even when you are not running a VNC server?

Thanks.

Another thought, what directory are you extracting ChunkVNC to?
Try extracting the zip on your desktop and running it from there, this seems to clear up permissions issues with Vista/7

Ok, I decided to do a bit more than originally planned but I started having fun coding tonight.
Give this a test and let me know if it fixes your issue (it should!)
If this new version solves the problem I'll release it on the main site. :)

Release 3.3.1 9.12.11
#####################

Changes in this version:

* Updated Compiler to automate the UltraVNC server in a different way for greater compatibility.

tanza14,

Sorry, I don't understand... What does this have to do with problems with the password?
If it's a separate issue could you create a new thread, thanks.

I seem to be having a similar problem with 3.3.1...

using dyndns
using windows 7 64bit

after compiling with the standard ports & my unique password, my client uses instantsupport.exe to successfully connect (WAN) to my repeater (running on my local machine), however when I attempt to open the CHUNKVIEWER - IT ONLY ALLOWS ME TO ENTER A MAXIMUM OF 6 CHARACTERS...therefore I can never select the password to engage the "connect" button.:shock:

What was really strange was that last week it worked just fine! I haven't changed anything. Totally baffled by this issue...

You input InstantSupport's ID number (which is 6 digits) into ChunkViewer not the password.
