@lwc
The novnc is a replacement for the java viewer that wasn't working (unless you used a very old browser)

The server has a building http server
Instead of using the viewer
vncviewer.exe -connect myhost:5900
You can use any browser and connect using http or https http://myhost:5800
This works on all OS's, not only windows.

Hello,

Today I accidentally noticed incorrect behavior that creates a potential security risk. I first observed it in version 1.8.2.4, then updated to version 1.8.2.9, but the problem remains.

My configuration requires the use of SecureVNCPlugin64.dsm. For this purpose, I have created the following files:

xxxx_ServerClientAuth.pkey – this file remains in the program directory on the server.

xxxx_ViewerClientAuth.pkey – this file is removed from the server and placed on the computer running the Viewer.

The ultravnc.ini file is located in ProgramData.

The problem is that the Viewer can establish a connection even when xxxx_ViewerClientAuth.pkey is not present in its directory.

The same applies to xxxx_ServerClientAuth.pkey – even when I remove it from the program directory, the connection can still be established.

I have more than 100 machines running version 1.4.3.6, and in that version, when encryption is enabled, a connection cannot be established if the two .pkey files are not in their correct locations.

Could you please help me understand whether I am missing something or if this is incorrect behavior?
Thanks

I tried the Copy text command again several times yesterday. It is working perfectly in both directions. I must have had a glitch the first time I tested it. Thank you for this enhancement!
