view only password rejected with securevnc.plugin.dsm

Post by frsj »

HI I am testing ultra vnc version 1.1.9.6 on a windows 7 32 bits machine, i tested both view only and full control password and both of them worked until i put the SecureVNCPlugin.dsm inside of the installation folder. Full control password works fine but viewonly password gives me an authentication rejected error message. The server and the viewer are both version 1.1.9.6. I have tried rebooting the machine and also setting the passwords with the setpassword.exe command. Thanks.

The problem is that when you use the plugin without settings, it use the vnc password (full) as part of the encryption key.
View-only password + encryption plugin only works if you use pre defined encryption keys.

Question, when i click on the config button to configure the plugin i can see 2 fields that say passphrase and confirm. Is that what I need to change? Thanks.
