Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: bug menoy (nobugging) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Server-side view-only Initial Comment: It's sometimes useful to be able to grant view-only access to a desktop. For example, if me and another user both login, me with full access, him with view-only, I can show him something on that computer without compromising security. How about a separate view-only password? If you log-in with the view-only password, the server ignores input, and if you login with the full-access password, everything behaves as normal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Naveen Rao (naveenrao) Date: 2012-06-08 09:32 Message: I think this is a very important feature to have. We often do screen sharing and this enables me to control who gets to interact with the session. The next step would be a control panel which allows me to _dynamically_ change a particular client's permissions without worrying about passwords, but in the meantime, view-only password will do. It is also interesting to note that the old 1.3 tightvncserver has this option. Given that, I am hoping it isn't too diffucult to port that over to tigervnc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126849&aid=2780072&group_id=254363 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
