This directory contains a patched Java applet VNC viewer that is SSL
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
The patches in the *.patch files are relative to the source tarball:
|
|
|
|
tightvnc-1.3dev7_javasrc.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
currently (4/06) available here:
|
|
|
|
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vnc-tight/tightvnc-1.3dev7_javasrc.tar.gz?download
|
|
|
|
It also includes some simple patches to:
|
|
|
|
- fix richcursor colors
|
|
|
|
- make the Java Applet cursor (not the cursor drawn to the canvas
|
|
framebuffer) invisible when it is inside the canvas.
|
|
|
|
- allow Tab (and some other) keystrokes to be sent to the vnc
|
|
server instead of doing widget traversal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This SSL applet should work with any VNC viewer that has an SSL tunnel in
|
|
front of it. It has been tested on x11vnc and using the stunnel tunnel
|
|
to other VNC servers.
|
|
|
|
By default this Vnc Viewer will only do SSL. To do unencrypted traffic
|
|
see the "DisableSSL" applet parameter (e.g. set it to Yes in index.vnc).
|
|
|
|
Proxies: they are a general problem with java socket applets (a socket
|
|
connection does not go through the proxy). See the info in the proxy.vnc
|
|
file for a workaround. It uses SignedVncViewer.jar which is simply
|
|
a signed version of VncViewer.jar. The basic idea is the user clicks
|
|
"Yes" to trust the applet and then it can connect directly to the proxy
|
|
and issue a CONNECT request.
|
|
|
|
This applet has been tested on versions 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 of the Sun
|
|
Java plugin. It may not work on older releases or different vendor VM's.

Tips:
|
|
|
|
When doing single-port proxy connections (e.g. both VNC and HTTPS
|
|
thru port 5900) it helps to move through the 'do you trust this site'
|
|
dialogs quickly. x11vnc has to wait to see if the traffic is VNC or
|
|
HTTP and this can cause timeouts if you don't move thru them quickly.
|
|
|
|
You may have to restart your browser completely if it gets into a
|
|
weird state. For one case we saw the JVM requesting VncViewer.class
|
|
even when no such file exists.

Extras:
|
|
|
|
ss_vncviewer (not Java):
|
|
|
|
Wrapper script for native VNC viewer to connect to x11vnc in
|
|
SSL mode. Script launches stunnel(8) and then connects to it
|
|
via localhost which in turn is then redirected to x11vnc via an
|
|
SSL tunnel. stunnel(8) must be installed and available in PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running Java SSL VncViewer from the command line:
|
|
|
|
From this directory:
|
|
|
|
java -cp ./VncViewer.jar VncViewer HOST <thehost> PORT <theport>
|
|
|
|
substitute <thehost> and <theport> with the actual values.
