[VirtualGL-Users] SecurityTypes option for the java viewer (VncViewer.jar)

[Kevin V. W. <va...@sa...>]

The java viewer has the following option:

--> SecurityTypes
>     (default =
> X509Plain,X509Ident,X509Vnc,X509None,TLSPlain,TLSIdent,TLSVnc,TLS
> None,VncAuth,Ident,Plain,None)
>     A comma-separated list of the VeNCrypt security types that can be
> used, if
>     the server supports them.  The 12 supported security types (None,
> VncAuth,
>     Plain, Ident, TLSNone, TLSVnc, TLSPlain, TLSIdent, X509None, X509Vnc,
>     X509Plain, and X509Ident) are combinations of three encryption methods
>     (None, Anonymous TLS, and TLS with X.509 certificates) and four
>     authentication schemes (None, Standard VNC, Plain, and Ident.)  "Plain"
>     authenticates using a plain text user name and password, so it is
> strongly
>     recommended that it only be used with encrypted connections.  "Ident"
>     authenticates using only a user name.  The order of this list does not
>     matter, since the server's preferred order is always used.


Does the native turbovnc client have a similar option?

How do I determine if the server supports them and how do I set the
server's preferred order? I can set the permitted-auth-methods in
turbovncserver-auth.conf, but I can't find any way to configure the
encryption method.

What I basically want to encryption=None and authentication=VncAuth since
I'm forcing all connections to go through SSH tunnels.

Thanks.
