Reject VNC

Post by kim »

Hello

Using X2 Pro 10.
When someone makes remote connection by VNC to the terminal, we like to show a message to the local operator that someone is accessing the terminal. No problem so far, detecting VNC establish is fixed.

But is there any solution for the local operator to reject VNC connection? So after VNC established, local operator can like press "Not accept remote user" and it closes the port and keep it closed until restart?

It would be great if was possible! :)

Thanks.

Hi Kim,

We might be able to accomplish this by programmatically closing the port or "killing" the VNC process. One thing you may want to consider though is that due to VNC being essentially a clone of the desktop, any popups we show the operator will also be visible to the VNC client.
Best regards,

Hi Chris

Yes I am aware of the VNC function. Idea was to let operator press a real button on console to accept remote user. Or on screen to deny it.

Can you give example of how to close the port by script? Or other way.

Thank a lot!
