Hello Fellow VNC'ers, If anyone is interested, I have modified the latest version of the Java VNC (TightVNC's starting base) client and added support for SSL/TLS communication.
I added an additional parameter named "USETLS" that when set to "1" will result in the downloaded Java Viewer applet "tunneling" all of the RFB traffic through a negotiated SSL/TLS connection. If the parameter is set to "0", the VNC client will operate as it does today !!! The way I use it now is with "stunnel" to front-end the VNC server. Therefore, the setup I have running is an Apache SSL/TLS secured and password-protected web page that serves-up the Java applet (a JAR file of the compressed classes only) and on that same server I have a stunnel listening on a PORT defined in the HTML. The "other end" of stunnel is connected to VNC-Reflector that in turn communicates with the actual computer running the VNC server... The code uses new SSL/TLS classes that are in JRE version 1.4+. Also, I have example HTML that will auto detect the version of the client system's JRE and offer the option to download the required level of JRE automatically if allowed (either from Java.Sun.com or from the webserver itself) !!!! Either send mail to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or post follow-up questions here... Regards, Oscar. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
