Chapter 7: Making Connections Secure<br />

Preventing particular users connecting<br />

You can prevent a particular user connecting by causing a connection prompt to appear on the host<br />

computer’s desktop:<br />

A connection prompt enables a host computer user (if one is present), or an already-connected user, to<br />

identify the connecting user and either accept the connection request, allow ‘view only’ access to the host<br />

computer, or reject it. If no response is received within ten seconds, then the connection request is<br />

automatically rejected. Note that if you are setting up <strong>VNC</strong> Server on your own computer for remote access<br />

then enabling this feature may prevent you connecting.<br />

Note: In some circumstances, certain users connecting to <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Enterprise) or <strong>VNC</strong> Server<br />

(Personal) are able to bypass connection prompts. To submit these users to prompts, revoke the Connect<br />

without accept/reject prompt <strong>VNC</strong> permission. For more information, see Customizing <strong>VNC</strong><br />

permissions on page 115.<br />

To display connection prompts, open the <strong>VNC</strong> Server - Options dialog. More on this dialog. On the<br />

Connections tab, choose Show accept/reject prompt from the When <strong>VNC</strong> Viewers connect<br />

dropdown:<br />
