How to disallow screen blanking in SC

Post by rmoller »

Hello,

I'm implementing SC for helpdesk support.
The fact that SC is not listening is crucial for internal sec. audit.

However during a support session it must NOT be possible for supporter to blank the screen of the server - the supportee must be observing anything done in his/her name.

I tried to configure registry at the server end, and check out command line options to winvnc.exe to no avail - the toolbar icon still manages to blank the server screen.

I can run the vncviewer with -notoolbar -nohotkeys -restricted -listen, but it would be safer to configure the server side.

TIA

Rasmus Møller

I think, until today, necessary to modify the source code of SC to block/allow some feature.
