UltraVNC Server with SC

[JClasen]

Hi!

I'm trying to set up a basic help desk here. On the helpdesk site, we do have a standard installation of UltraVNC Server (stable). On the client site, there shall be a generated (by your script) installation of SC2.

The server is running flawlessly. The same is true for the client. Now the problem is, they don't talk to eachother.

Breaking down the connection process, I figured out, that the server obviously cannot be run without a password, while I see no way to provide the client with such a password.

Am I missing something?

Is there a way to work around this?

Best regards
Jens

Hi! Jens

There are three components inside a UltraVNC Standard installation: VNCserver; VNCviewer; Repeater.
On your helpdesk site, you just need the VNCviewer; Repeater (needed for SC2). But looks like you mis-understood the SC2 will connect to the vncserver.

Regarding Single Click
1. SC -- a special version of VNCserver that initials a connection to a viewer in listening mode, NO PASSWORD IS REQUIRED.
2. SC2 -- Same as SC, but is configured to make a connection via a repeater that operated in Mode II.


So, in your situation, your setup s/b like this:
1. On the client site, there shall be a generated installation of SC2, that will connect to the repeater.
2. You have a repeater running in Mode II.
3. On the helpdesk site, run the viewer and connect to the repeater too.

If all setting is correct, a successful connection will be established. You may see these posts for a reference.

Okay - understood. Thanks for the clarification. I really missed the importance of the repeater in between client and server.

Is there any chance to build a customized version of the plain sc software? If so, could you please point me to the right docs/tutorials/howtos for this setup?

We have a larger VPN network here, so we could incorporate everything necessary to run vnc sessions. Since we're not talking about an internet conncetion through unknown networks, I don't really see why I'd need a repeater at all.

Why not? See the description here: http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/create/index.html

There are guides written by volunteers too, available here:

That's right. The use of a repeater is to solve a problem:
The Viewer is behind a router AND you are unable to forward the vnc signal to the viewer.
If you are not under this situation, you don't need a repeater. Just create a SC.exe and let it connect to a viewer directly.
