Re: confusing about the number of passwords

Hello Cristian,

There are 3 passwords in each configuration, but there may be several
configurations: one service-mode (global), and one application-mode per
each user.

Please check if you run TightVNC Server as a service or as an
application. The passwords entered during the installation would be
saved in the global service-mode configuration. However, when you run
TightVNC Server as a user application, it uses a separate set of
configuration settings. Moreover, each user has their own
application-mode configuration.

Thank you.

While installing TightVNC (server) on Windows, it asks (or recommends)
for setting two passwords, one "Passwor for Remote Access" and one
"Administrative Password".

Ok, from this I understand that the first one is the password required
for remote connections, while the other is to protect unauthorized
access to change the server settings.

However, when I try to use it for the first time, I have to set again a
"Primary password" (which is unset right after install) and – in
Administration tab – a "Administrative passowrd" (which again is unset
and its checkbox unchecked).

So, in the end, how many passwords are in total ? Including the
view-only, are there 3 or 5 ?
If only 3, then why are the passwords from install process ignored ?
If 5, then what is the use of the two during install process ?

Thank you,
Cristi
