problems with encryption

Post by walter01 »

Hello,

unvc works well with encryption.
uvnc sx works well without encryption.

uvnc sx with encryption has problems:
helpdesk.txt
-plugin -connect 192.168.2.110:54320 -noregistry

viewer was started with:
...\vncviewer.exe -listen 54320 -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm

After double click in uvnc-sc on viewer-pc pops up "VNC Authentication" (why?, i think here is the problem!).
When i click on "Log On" or "Cancel", popup is closed, nothing else happens (no viewer-window!).
On server-pc connection is active, sc-server is listening, and with contextmenu on systray-icon connection can be closed.
After closing connection on server-pc on viewer-pc pops up "VncViewerMessage Box" with message:
Connection failed: Error reading Protocol Version ...

I think that a viewer-parameter is wrong.

Thanks for every kind of help!
Best wishes

did you added the rc4.key file.
But server and viewer need the same key file.

Via the plugin options, you need to generate a key, and call it rc4.key.

uvnc has a password, uvnc sc doesn't have a password.
If no key file exist, the password is used, this doesn't work for sc.

+The rc4.key is actual a dual protection
-used for encryption
-only viewer with the correct key file can connect.

wrong, single colon for non standard port
-plugin -connect 192.168.2.110:54320 -noregistry

correct, with port outside of standard port need double colons
-plugin -connect 192.168.2.110::54320 -noregistry

thanks for your help.
I copied again rc4.key in the uvnc-program-folder of both pc's,
i inserted double colons in the file helpdesk.txt,
i created a new exe-file with copy of rc4.key and changed helpdesk.txt,

but i get no connection with encryption, without encryption all is ok.

Do you have another idea?

Best wishes,

Which version of UltraVNC you are using in your pc?
Be aware the different versions of MSRC4Plugin.dsm are not compatible.

In the previous UVNC package, the bundled MSRC4Plugin is 1.2.2.0 (the latest version using 1.2.4.0)

The SingleClick Online creator is using MSRC4Plugin.dsm 1.2.4.0
