Since I'm giving out request here. How about VNC support for the MacOs X vnc server. As I understand it the protocol is standard VNC it's just different authentication method. The VNC manager finds the servers but it just doesn't authenticate. Shouldn't be to big of a deal if the info is somewhere in http://developer.apple.com/. Or just asking Apple.

Jon,
I didn't know that MacOS version of VNC version talks using different RFB protocol. Since we don't have any Macs around it's hard for us to test it ourself.
We will try to check on OS-X implementation difference. Meanwhile, could you please confirm if native windows (Tight/Real) VNC viewer can connect to OS-X server?

TightVNC displays uncompatable version and RealVNC gives "No matching security types".
This is propably related to the Remote Desktop 2 product of theirs. Propably got some network based authentication protocols.

Hey JonGretar,

I am sure if you create a dummy apple login for smartcode they could test this out for you and work with you on this so to support it for the future..

This is a good idea, indeed. We would appreciate if somebody could provide a MacOS VNC server for testing purposes. Not for long, a week would be enough.



Kindest Regards,

Sure thing. I'll take one of the old macs and set up a guest account. I'll PM you guys when set up to get your IP address. Prefer not opening this up for the world.
