Setting password on viewer and server

[imekul]

Hi guys! First of all, this seems like a great, great product. I'm happy I found it!

Now, I'm a little confused as far as the passwords go. I've read the documentation, the samples, and everything, yet I'm still unclear as to how this all works. Forgive me if I seem a little dense!

As an example, I'm trying to make the client have to type in, say, "testing" as the password. Would I have my helpdesk.txt read like this:

Code: Select all

-connect remote.me.com:5601 -passwd ask

?

If so, then where in the server/viewer do I put in the password "testing" to make sure that the client is entering in the correct password?

Secondly, what if I want to distribute, say, five different client EXEs to people? How can I set up their accounts on the server/viewer?

I apologize if this seems silly, but I'm just kind of confused as to how all the authentication works. When we store the MD5 hash of a password in the helpdesk.txt file, is that MD5 hash then sent to the server/viewer in order to check it against their hash? If so, where is that information kept?

If somebody has an easy example of how to create a basic authentication system, I would really appreciate it! I'm sure I can then learn how to tweak it. It's just, the documentation I found (like this thread: [topic=10844][/topic]) leave me kind of confused as to the proper use of -passwd, -id, and so on.

Thanks in advance!

-connect remote.me.com:5601 -passwd ask

by instant messenger, e-mail or phone call, local and remote must know wish password to use.
viewer input password, start their viewer as listening
then server must input same password and both match, connection alive.

-connect remote.me.com:5601 -passwd 40F1FC278C991EED325D3D226E1D8445

viewer must input password (viewer must know before start connection)
server = remote, don't need input password because set on the helpdesk.txt

this password set by the person create the current PcHelpware_server.
(plain text PcHelpware password converted as MD5) on helpdesk.txt on the above example) MD5 code must be set uppercase !!!

-id ask,
let you choice time by time a new number
like one id per technician or/and customer

-id 1234
only one number for all technician/customer

if you want 5 diffferent password set to helpdesk.txt (1 per techncian)

Thanks, redge!!

How about if I have multiple profiles/aliases (the .phw files)? If I have two of them, do I need to select which one is "active," or can anybody with the matching server (for 1.phw or 2.phw) connect?

In other words, are the .phw aliases simply just different active accounts, and I don't need to select one in particular in order for a single person to connect?

Also, since the ID box is greyed out in the viewer window when "Direct Connection" is selected, does that mean ID is only used when a repeater is used? Or would I just need to manually edit the helpdesk.txt file in that case, as the area is greyed out in the GUI program?

Thanks again. This is a pretty neat program. The price is nice, too.

you can set the default profile to helpdesk.txt if you have multiple profiles

if ID is greyed out,
it mean there a direct connection to a repeater
and/or only single profile

yes, id is only possible with repeater somewhere
no repeater, no id

only single profile allowed with direct connection !
multiple profiles, feature -direct not possible.

select the default profile
