Ok, this is no drawback - at least I know that I shouldn't invest
further energy in Windows.
Then I'll give a try on linux and mail the results later.
Although, I tried the VeNCrypt Viewer v0.2.6 under windows (forgot to
mention that) and had the following results / message boxes:
VNC/Authentication [X509None]: certificate issuer unknown.
VNC/Authentication [X509None]: certificate not trusted.
VNC/Authentication [X509None]: hostname mismatch.
VeNCrypt Viewer : Question: The connection closed unexpectedly. Do you
wish to attempt to reconnect to 127.0.0.1:0?
This indicates a mismatch between the hostname you told it to connect
to, and the hostname in the server certificate. If the host name in
the server certificate is foo.example.com, you *must* tell the VNC
client to connect to foo.example.com:0 and *not* localhost, or 127.0.0.1
or any other IP address it may have. Also sounds like the client may
be missing the CA certificate, since it shouldn't say
'certificate issuer unknown' if you've pointed it to the CA cert file
correctly.
