Authentication rejected

Post by ertank »

Hello,

I am using v1.3.8.1 of UltraVNC. I used to use a very old version. This is a server without internet access and it is not possible to update it frequently.

Since server replaced recently, I installed the latest version I could find.

My problem is using vncviewer with .vnc extension files. There are hundreds of such files used from earlier version and all are used by vncviewer when double clicked on windows explorer. These files also has password information in them. Example .vnc file has following text in it (password is masked)

Code: Select all

[connection]
host=10.8.51.45
port=5900
password=1234
[options]
use_encoding_1=0
copyrect=1
viewonly=0
fullscreen=0
8bit=0
shared=1
belldeiconify=0
disableclipboard=0
swapmouse=0
fitwindow=1
cursorshape=1
noremotecursor=0
preferred_encoding=7
compresslevel=-1
quality=6
localcursor=1
scale_den=10
scale_num=9
local_cursor_shape=1
Problem with this configuration I get "authentication rejected" error message displayed.

I wonder how I can automate direct connection without being asked for input a password using the parameters including password information in .vnc extension files.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ertan
