Pass through AD authentication when using "New MS Logon"?

jogz · Post by **jogz** » 2012-02-02 15:33

We recently starting using the MS Logon Groups configuration which works fantastic. I was curious if there was a way other than AutoIT scripts to incorporate AD pass through authentication. I found this post: https://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?t=8051 from 2006 and figured it was worth following up on.

I wrote a script that calls VNCViewer.exe and passes the username and password to the executable every time it's called. However, I do not like storing UserID's and passwords in any files whatsoever, so I make the script prompt for them the first time a VNC connection is attempted. Subsequent attempts use the values stored in memory so no more prompting is required.

This setup has the advantage that no usernames and passwords are stored in files which increases security as well as eliminates management of such files in the event usernames or passwords change. Another advantage is that it's easy to use alternate credentials to connect should that be required. For example, a computer's domain membership becomes invalid and local credentials are required for connecting.

First off, thanks for the quick response. That script sounds awesome! I have no scripting know-how... interested in sharing? I can PM or e-mail you if you're willing.

Please, can you share your script (PM or e-mail)???
Which language you've used? AutoIT???

Thanx in advance and cheers!

@Jogz, I've prepared a little script that works for me, if you want I can send it via e-mail; did you have received yesterday my message? Can I use this address?

Kind regards.

Hi guys, any chance you can send me that code as well? I am looking for the same thing.
The code from 2006 doesn't work at all and I'm not sure why it is failing.

Hmmm....apparantly I missed the replies after mine way back when on this one. However, since then I posted a little HTA script that does what was requested here.
