Setting password via command line

[Fwacer]

Hello,

I'm trying to set the password for a UltraVNC Server without using the system tray menu (Want to automate installation).

I tried using uvnc_settings.exe and setting the password under the Security tab, but it doesn't seem to actually apply the password.

I tried using createpassword.exe, per this post from Rudi using:

Code: Select all

createpassword -secure mypassword

And I tried:

Code: Select all

createpassword mypassword

Neither seemed to work.

I also tried using setpasswd.exe but didn't get anywhere.

Am I going about this the wrong way?

Cheers

Code: Select all

createpassword [-secure] mypassword

Need to be executed in the ultravnc.ini folder
1) set secure to 1
2) set secure password

Warning: Code differ on 32/64-bit:
- You need to use 64-bit if winvnc.exe is 64-bit (x64)
- You need to use 32-bit if winvnc.exe is 32-bit (x86)

A secure password is not portable. The encryption differ on each host.

Do you have write access? If you use the default folder "Program Files" runas admin is needed to be able to write to the ini file.

Please test first in a temp folder, after running the tool, the ultravnc.ini file should contain a password.

For an automated install you can also create the ultravnc.ini on your local pc.
Pushing it remote is just overwriting the remote ultravnc.ini with your local.
This doesn't work with the secure password.

Hi Rudi, thanks for the response.

Sorry, I don't understand your instructions. Let me ask a few questions to clarify

1. Where is the ultravnc.ini folder? I don't see this folder under "C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC".
2. How do I set secure to 1? Would I type something like "createpassword -secure 1 mypassword" ?
3. I don't understand what you mean by the password not being portable. What does portable mean?
4. Yes, I ran them as admin.
