Post by tbran6 »

Does anyone know what file(s) to modify to allow an 8 character password?

VNC protocol only use 8 chars.
The encryption plugins have the option to set a longer password as part of the encryption via the plugin config.

It must be a ChunkVNC thing then. ChunkVNC is not allowing an 8 character password, a message pops up during the compile that reads "The password cannot be less than 9 characters"

Perhaps you're looking for (about) line 76 in compiler.au3?

Thanks JohnD. I change it in the line 76 area but still receive the message. I suspect the change might be somewhere in lines 48, 51,54, but it looks cryptic and im not sure what to modify here.
