VNC connection and authenticating with a username AND password?
VNC connection and authenticating with a username AND password?
There doesn't seem to be any way to put in a username for VNC authentication. Just a password. Is this a missing feature or is there a way I'm missing to put in a username?

So you're saying reduce my security in order to get your product to work? VNCing to a machine utilizing AD authentication requires a username AND password. There is no reason why we should reduce security to use Pocketcloud with a VNC connection. Please add an option to put in a username when using a VNC connection.
*I created a second account because the forum's password reset does not work. I submitted an email to your support group for this but have not gotten a response.

With VNC, you should only need to put in a password to connect. If you have a setting to authenticate using a username AND password, you may need to change it to password only.

Please put in a feature request to allow username/password VNC connections using the link below:
http://pocketcloudsupport.wyse.com/a...s_requests/new
Our product team will review the request and hopefully it will make it into a future release.
We've been asking for this feature for two years. If Wyse/Dell hasn't added support for it by now, it's never going to happen.
We have a need for approximately 100 client licenses. PocketCloud would be a great solution but without support for this basic, standard authentication method, it just cannot be taken seriously. Of course, $1000 worth of licenses is nothing compared to the cost to implement the passing of an extra username field during authentication, but you have to question how many other enterprise-class organizations are passing on your software.

Some VNC clients support usernames AND passwords for VNC connections, unfortunately our application only supports password protection for VNC connections.
Please put in a feature request to allow username/password VNC connections using the link below:
