Thanks for confirming, Nicholas!


Would you be able to switch back to the integrated plugin, enable Debug or Verbose logging in the Options, freshly start Royal TS, initiate the VNC connection (which fails) and send us the log (via support ticket)?


This way we can forward the communication log to Glavsoft (company writing TightVNC) to investigate.


Thanks,
Stefan

I tried with the non-integrated tightvnc and seems to work.

Hello,

I have the same error, when trying to connect to a Mac using the integrated TightVNC plugin:

Message:
Specified key is a known weak key for 'DES' and cannot be used.


I talked to the support a couple of weeks ago and only using the external TightVNC Plugin solved my problem.

I am on Royal TS 6.1.10324 - Beta (the official release did not work either)

That's strange. I'm not able to reproduce the error on my test systems. 


What version of Royal TS are you running?

Can you switch to the other TightVNC plugin which is using the locally installed client?


Regards,

I have that setting configured. Tight VNC doesn’t work. Keep getting an error about DES encryption.

Hi Nicholas,


we tried to integrate RealVNC several times but it doesn't "play nice" and cannot be embedded like other clients.


You can make TightVNC work with macOS when enabling Screen Sharing with VNC clients permitted:

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/turn-screen-sharing-on-or-off-mh11848/mac


Once macOS is configured you have to specify the password without the user name.


Let me know if this helps.


Regards,
Stefan
