Any way to require a DSM plugin?

I am in the process of setting up a remote access solution for certain staff members at my company, and want to make it as secure as possible. I have a test setup working with UltraVNC using MS Active Directory authentication and running with the RC4_noreg DSM plugin.

My goal is to give each staff member a flash drive with the UltraVNC viewer, the DSM plugin, and the required key, as well as a batch or .vnc file to initiate the connection.

What I have seen with the plugin is that if the appropriate key is found, the viewer and server will use it to secure the session. However, if the viewer does not have the key or plugin available, it will revert to a standard (unencrypted) session. Is there any way to configure the server/viewer/plugin in such a way that if the DSM plugin cannot establish an encrypted session, the connection is disallowed?

If not, may I humbly request this feature? :)

If that's the way its working for you then you don't have it working!

If the plugin is enabled and working on the server, there is NO WAY someone can connect to it without using the plugin and the correct key.

Ah, I'll have to take another look at my test setup then. Thanks for making it clear to me (didn't see that anywhere in the docs).
