Set DSMPlugin in source code

[A|ex]

Does anyone know how you specify a DSMPlugin and key in the source code before compilation? I am not sure if the dsmplugin parameters are passed via variables or whether they are coded directly into a function. i found some code in clientconnection.cpp but there was a comment which said 'hack and unsafe'. and commented out.

Has anyone ever done this so the viewer uses the dsm plugin by default and key.

There's an easy way to do this.

First you could put the complete command line in a batch file and execute it:
vncviewer host -dsmplugin msrc4plugin-122.dsm etc...

If you really want to hard code the use of the plugin:
1. Look for this code in vncoptions.cpp

***
else if ( SwitchMatch(args[j], _T("dsmplugin") ))
{
if (++j == i)
{
ArgError(sz_D27);
continue;
}
m_fUseDSMPlugin = true;
strcpy(m_szDSMPluginFilename, args[j]);
***

cancel it and write something like this instead
(replace with the plugin name you prefer...):

***
m_fUseDSMPlugin = true;
strcpy(m_szDSMPluginFilename, "msrc4plugin-122.dsm");
***


2. Generate a rc4.key file and copy it on both sides.
It's not mandatory: if no keyfile => a hash of the VNC password is used as the encryption key by the plugin.


3. Copy your recompiled viewer, the plugin file and the optional key file in the same directory


4. Run the viewer
