Check out the latest version of TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com Should be version 1.2.8, which will let you set one password for full access and another for view only. You shouldn't need to change the viewers on any machines and it works fine with the Java client.

Hi, I need to set up VNC server in the way that it will allow one user full access to applications and all other (mostly using java client) users only view-only access. I see that in current VNC server one can turn input events on/off only for all clients regardless of their password or host they connecting from and etc. Is there any way to work around this problem? Any proxy, stripping input events commands? Sergey. P.S. We found 2 possible ways which are not really good for different reasons: 1. Rewrite Java client so it can't send any keyboard/mouse events to server. It's not good, because anyone can use normal client and get full access. 2. Use 2 VNC servers on different computers - one view-only which runs only VNC client connected to another (full access) server. So users who needs view-only access can connect to the first server and full access users can connect to the second one. This is not good too, because running two VNC servers is using too much resources. I'm surprised that authorization schemes and options for such a good software is so simple.
