Allow setting passing password=... in .vnc file

[Paul Sladen]

Binary package hint: vinagre

Vinagre is an VNC-protocol remote desktop client. To connect to a remote machine, requires the IP address, an IP port number and optionally (but generally) a pssw. I have encounter a grid provide that setups up a randomised short-term IP:port:password combination on an intermediate proxy server that then hands the data back and forth, hi

Luckily it is possible to specify the connection to load in a '.vnc' file, which is mostly unconnection, but similar to:

       [connection]
       host=abcdef
       port=12345

In the situation I'm hitting, I'd like to grab the one-time random tuple of IP:port:password, write these to a /tmp file and start up Vinagre.

Ideally Vinagre should allow passing the password in a config/bookmark file to save the most complicated bit of re-typing.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
