Launching VNC Viewer without passing Command Line Arguments

Post by Raj97 »

Is it possible to launch UltraVNC Viewer, without passing username and password as command line arguments?

We use VNC Viewer and VNC Server, both runs on two Windows 10 machines, VNC Viewer is launched programmatically. Based on our company policy, we should not pass login credential as command line argument.

How can we launch VNC viewer without passing username and password as command line argument. (UltraVNC version: 1.2.1.0)

I have tried following this link, in which encrypted password can be kept in a config file, but it is prompting for user to input the password every time, which is not desirable.

Any assistance in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Not possible.
Or you enter it or it's provided as commandline argument.

The link you mention allow you to store passwd/user encrypted, but the vncviewer still need the unencrypted passwd as commandline.
