Problems in Repeater mode

Post by sport »

Hi,

first of all, thank you very much for your great work! I'm using UVNC solutions from more years and it's really the only one open solution to make a good helpdesk support.

I use ultravnc as internal helpdesk solution. I've used the ChunkVNC solution as beginning point, and then improved, developed and customized for my needs

My implementation works with the ULTRAVNC server standard + DSM Plugin (using password) and the great ultravnc repeater developed by Karl J. Runge


I've upgraded my solution with the last uvnc solution, and i've found some problems with the autoreconnect function of the viewer. With my original version based on 1.1.9.6 uvnc version all works correctly, but using the last release i've found some problems when the server close the session to install it as a service and the viewer wait to reconnect.

Using VNC Server 1.2.1.0 and VNC Viewer 1.1.9.6:

UVNC Server Close it and it reinstall as a service with the same ID number, than it reconnect to the repeater
UVNC Viewer wait as the time and session and retry times defined, find the lost session and prompt to insert the password to authenticate the session, and then the remote session works correctly

Using VNC Server 1.2.1.0 and VNC Viewer 1.2.1.0:

UVNC Server Close it and it reinstall as a service with the same ID number, than it reconnect to the repeater
UVNC Viewer wait as the time and session and retry times defined (i've tryed more combinations, does have importance), it can't reconnect and it close

When I define the -password option it works and it reconnect correctly resuming the lost session


It can be possible to have the same results as the 1.1.9.6 version with the new release?

Sorry for my bad english

Thank you very much
