I guess I'm confused, because I thought we specifically patched TigerVNC to prevent having to specify "VeNCrypt" as a security type, and I remember Martin being the one who suggested that. If the Red Hat version of TigerVNC now requires specifying "VeNCrypt", then that is a regression relative to the project version of TigerVNC. "VeNCrypt" should be automatically added to the security types whenever a VeNCrypt security type is part of the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
