The initial versions of the XRDP project relied on a local VNC server installation that had to be present alongside the program, in order to relay the graphics and controls between the user and the server [7] (known as the "VNC forwarding mode"). However, this mode is currently not recommended to use anymore, due to its slow performance.
The VNC protocol expresses mouse button state in a single byte, as binary up/down. This limits the number of mouse buttons to eight (effectively 7 given convention of button 0 meaning "disabled"). Many modern mice enumerate 9 or more buttons, leading to forward/back buttons having no effect over RFB. A "GII" extension solves this problem.
A new feature in RDP 8.0 is limited support for RDP session nesting; it only works for Windows 8 and Server 2012 though, Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 (even with the RDP 8.0 update) do not support this feature. [25] The "shadow" feature from RDP 7, which allowed an administrator to monitor (snoop) on a RDP connection has been removed in RDP 8.
"Compatibility View" is a compatibility mode feature of the web browser Internet Explorer in version 8 and later. When active, Compatibility View forces IE to display the webpage in Quirks mode as if the page were being viewed in IE7. [1] [2] When compatibility view is not activated, IE is said to be running in native mode. In IE11, a user can ...
VNC by default uses TCP port 5900+N, [6] [7] where N is the display number (usually :0 for a physical display). Several implementations also start a basic HTTP server on port 5800+ N to provide a VNC viewer as a Java applet , allowing easy connection through any Java-enabled web-browser.
Listening mode: where a server connects to a viewer. The server site does not have to configure its firewall/NAT to allow access on a defined port; the onus is on the viewer, which is useful if the server site has no computer expertise, while the viewer user would be expected to be more knowledgeable.
x11vnc has security features that allows the user to set an access password or to use Unix usernames and passwords. It also has options for connection via a secure SSL link. [4] An SSL Java VNC viewer applet is provided that enables secure connections from a web browser. The VeNCrypt SSL/TLS VNC security type is also supported.
Remote Desktop Services (RDS), known as Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and earlier, [1] is one of the components of Microsoft Windows that allow a user to initiate and control an interactive session [2] on a remote computer or virtual machine over a network connection.
