Attempting to setup a nonstandard connection type

Post by this-is-me »

I have a set of needs in our organization for a UltraVNC setup that most people might not consider a standard connection. I will attempt to describe my current setup and how we need things to be set up. I am hoping someone here can help me out.

We have a standalone Windows server connected directly to an internet IP address. We would like to have this server act as an acceptance point for reverse connections from UltraVNC servers and SC clients, as well as a "pickup point" for vnc viewers. We already have the repeater setup on this system. We would like to have the server automatically accept any and all reverse connections, but hold the connection as-is until a viewer can be attached to the server for that ID. We also want to be able to have multiple viewers for each SC or UltraVNC server connection. If necessary, we can replace our current SC setup with an UltraVNC server if we are able to install the UltraVNC server on a client's system without interfering with other VNC servers that the customer may have installed. I realise this is why SC was created, but because of the reverse connection, we cannot (so far as I know) have multiple viewers on a single SC connection. What it really looks like we need is an UltraVNC server that will save all settings in an ini file instead of the registry.

I do know that with SC as-is it is not possible to connect multiple viewers even through the repeater on the same ID.

This is an example of one of the types of connections we would like to have:
[_] Customer runs UltraVNC pre-packaged server from the web.
[_] UltraVNC server reverses connection to our main server (I only request this because of possible corporate firewalls on the UltraVNC server side).
[_] Our main server captures the connection and tells the UltraVNC server that it is connected to a viewer.
[_] Multiple Viewers connect from multiple systems to our server with the ID of the system in a fashion similar to a conference call, where any viewer can see the customer's system or control it.
[_] UltraVNC server is uninstalled when necessary via hotkey, and disconnects all viewers.

I have programming experience with AutoIt v3, so I can take care of packaging the Server, uninstalling on hotkey, and disconnecting the viewers. What I need is a program or set of instructions that will allow me to create the necessary server functionality. Does anyone have instructions on getting this to work?

pchelpware_sc with your actual repeater should work as much better efficient and faster and secure and less CPU resource of host.
now, you need lunch seperate pchelpware_viewer, as soon is connected, you can open new pchelpware_viewer for connect via repeater or start listening.

one multi-viewer would coming soon after beta stage success.
one technician should able to watch from one viewer many windows customers/friends/family :-)

How can this be done? I have done the following unsuccessfully (these exact steps):
repeater on server with all default options
sc on one system with command line -id 1234 myserver:5500
vncviewer (I have tried tabbed and non-tabbed) on system #1 connects to myserver:5901 with ID 1234 and share server is checked.
When connecting to myserver:5901 if a connection is already open on ID 1234, the second viewer gives an error about a connection problem (the error is Connection failed - Invalid protocol) and both the SC and viewer already connected disconnect.
