Preventing connections to VNC Server
By default, as soon as VNC Server starts:
• Users can connect to VNC Server and begin controlling the host computer.
• Web browser users can download VNC Viewer for Java, and use it to connect to this or to another host computer.
You can prevent all users connecting by configuring properties on the Connections tab of the VNC Server Properties dialog. For more information on this dialog, see Using the VNC Server Properties dialog.
Note: You can prevent particular users connecting, or connections from particular client computers. For more information, see Preventing particular connections to VNC Server.
(Windows XP)
You can prevent all users connecting to VNC Server. To do this, turn off Accept connections on port. Note that configuring this property does not affect currently connected users.
Note: If the VNC Server Properties dialog is in Basic mode, this option is called Allow VNC Viewers to connect to VNC Server.
You can still use VNC Server to establish a reverse connection to a client computer. For more information, see Establishing a reverse connection.
Preventing all VNC Viewer for Java downloads
You can prevent all web browser users downloading VNC Viewer for Java from VNC Server. To do this, turn off Serve Java viewer on port. Note that configuring this property does not affect currently connected users.
