"Accept WinVNC Connection" Where do I customize this window?

[mazostyle]

Here is how i have it set up right now: When a user tries to connect to another machine, the machine being connected to gets a popup window saying,

"WinVNC has received in incoming connection from:

"Ip.ip.ip.ip"

Would you like to Accept or Reject? "

Then the user can click accept or reject. Is there a way I can not have the IP displayed and rather display my Active Directory name? or even PC Name (ie. MISLT022) ? Any help is appreciated, thanks. I would rather the AD name be displayed, but again, any help is appreciated.

Besides editing the source code and recompiling I don't think there is much you can do here.

[mazostyle]

thanks for the reply. maybe this is a good option/customization for future releases then!

You could add it as a feature request but the devs are currently hard at work on a redesign of the core code at the moment...

[mazostyle]

2 things. 1)Where do I add it as a feature request? and 2)Is there maybe a way i can have the message box display the machine name by going through LDAP ??

1) Under "Open Discussion" "Feature Requests" on the forum index.

2) Sorry, I don't know the answer to that.

LDAP would really be overkill for that particular feature -- you just need a reverse DNS lookup to get the host name. (In fact, I don't know that the AD stores the IP addresses anyway.)

If you want the logged in user name, rather than the host name of the PC, then that's where you'd want/need LDAP or AD integration.

I haven't used it, but isn't the MSLogon feature designed to do at least some of this?

thats just to authenticate to the server. We have that enabled, where the user needs to enter their AD user/pass. I want the actual window that asks the person being connected to, to display the machine name or username

[mazostyle]

B, when u say reverse DNS lookup, how do i go about doing that?

[B]

C:\Users\MyLogin>nslookup 69.147.125.65
Server: mydnsserver.local
Address: 10.123.123.123

Name: ir1.fp.vip.re1.yahoo.com
Address: 69.147.125.65

C:\Users\MyLogin>

That's for one of the IP addresses used by www.yahoo.com. I'm sure there are a dozen different APIs that will do a similar lookup in your programming environment of choice. Since you're talking about local Active Directory, it should work pretty quickly, assuming all DHCP is integrated with AD too.

[mazostyle]

bump?

[supercoe]

mazostyle,

Not to sound like a jerk but if you're bumping this thread hoping that a dev works on this feature you'll be here for years.

Anyways isn't this question already answered? Either modify the UltraVNC source code or use B's suggestion.

[mazostyle]

1) im not a programmer, so i wouldnt even know where to begin to edit the source code & 2)I'm not even sure what B is suggesting.

[supercoe]

Then arn't we back to my first reply?

Besides editing the source code and recompiling I don't think there is much you can do here.

Sorry man, although the feature you request would be nice for some there are just bigger issues the developers are working on right now.

So to conclude, no there isn't currently a way to display the Active Directory name instead of the IP while receiving an incoming connection.
