Imagine this situation: server: - admin starts it with following parameter: "-SecurityTypes VeNCrypt,Plain,TLSNone,None" client: - started with following parameter "-SecurityTypes VeNCrypt,TLSNone,Plain" In this situation client will select VeNCrypt security type because server has it enabled and it is the first on the client's list and then client selects TLSNone subtype, because it is more preferred than Plain subtype. Second scenario, server is started as before. client: - started with "-SecurityTypes VeNCrypt,X509Plain,VncAuth" Now client selects VeNCrypt security type, as before, but then authentication fails because there is no enabled type on the client which matches any of the server's type. Hope this quick explanation was helpful.
