SSH Connection Issue: No configured security type

Hi All,

I have set up TightVNC Server on a Win7 64-bit platform. I can connect with no problems using TightVNC viewer through port 5900 directly.
I have also set up an SSH server on the same computer, which is working through PuTTY. I have also set up a tunnel in PuTTY to localhost:5900

When I try to connect with TightVNC Viewer to the server through the SSH (using localhost:0) as the server, I get the following error message: "No configured security type is supported by 3.3 viewer", and the connection fails

I have not been able to find a solution to this, but it looks like I am missing something fairly straightforward, so any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Brendan

Re: SSH Connection Issue: No configured security type

Hi brendan:

I assume you are using freesshd but even if you aren't the setup is the same.

You MUST instruct the ssh server to:
1. Enable tunneling,
2. Enable tunneling to local host.

You must also tell tvnc to accept connections from localhost since this is where the tunnel will come from, assuming the ssh server is also on the tvnc server.

Assuming you ssh/tvnc computer is 192.168.1.3, you need to tell putty that it must creat a tunnel from 192.168.1.3:5900 to say localhost:12000. Once you ssh is up, doing a netstat -a -p tcp -n -o should show you a service waiting for connection on 127.0.0.1:12000. Now, use the tvnc viewer and open. Session to locahost:12000.

That should work.

If you computer is behind a NAT wall with public IP 1.2.3.4, you need to put a PAT entry in from say 1.2.3.4:10022 to 192.168.1.3:22. Now, in putty create a new session to ssh to 1.2.3.4:10022 and also tell putting to open up a tunnel between 192.168.1.3:5900 to localhost:12000. You connect as above.

You might find that you NAT wall router support ssh tunneling on its own. If its unix based it should. Cisco IOS does not but many other routers do. You can the ssh tunnel via thius nat router to you windows box.

Give that a go and tell us how you get on.

Cheers,
John

Re: SSH Connection Issue: No configured security type

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply! Can I please clarify a few items:

I will assume my ssh/vnc server is at 192.168.1.3 and my client is at 192.168.1.6

1. I believe that my router firewall settings are correct - I have forward port 22 to 192.168.1.3 in the router and can successfully connect SSH, giving me a terminal window into 192.168.1.3. Does this sound right?

2. I have checked the 'allow loopback connections' box in tvnc GUI - I assume this is what you mean by telling tnv to acept connections from localhost?

3. I installed COPSSH out of the box and did not make any changes to the default settings other than adding a user. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by instructing the SSH server to enable tunneling. do I have to do something with sshd? I assumed from various articles I have read that this was all done in the putty settings, but am not really sure.

4. In the putty GUI on 192.168.1.6 I have set up a host at 192.168.1.3:22 and for this account added a tunnel with source port of 5900 and a destination of localhost:5900. On connecting with these settings, I am getting the "No configured security type is supported by 3.3 viewer" error

5. Doing netstat -a -p tcp -n -o (in the putty console SSH'd to 192.168.1.3) does not show a 127.0.0.1:5900, but does show 0.0.0.0:5900 as listening. Does this tell you anything, or would you need more detailed info?


your help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Brendan

I assumed from various articles I have read that this was all done in the putty settings, but am not really sure.
[John Serink] No. You have to ensure that the sshd server supports tunneling and allows tunnling to localhost. 

4. In the putty GUI on 192.168.1.6 I have set up a host at 192.168.1.3:22 and for this account added a tunnel with source port of 5900 and a destination of localhost:5900. On connecting with these settings, I am getting the "No configured security type is supported by 3.3 viewer" error
[John Serink] Yah, this is slitly wrong. localhost, in so far as putty is concerned, is the computer you are on. If you say destination localhost:5900 that mean YOUR computer, not the destination. Destination must be 192.168.1.3:5900, the same computer you ssh'd to, even if its behind a NAT wall. This will get mapped to 5900 localhost but putty leaves that out as its obvious, it only asks you for the port. 

5. Doing netstat -a -p tcp -n -o (in the putty console SSH'd to 192.168.1.3) does not show a 127.0.0.1:5900, but does show 0.0.0.0:5900 as listening. Does this tell you anything, or would you need more detailed info?
[John Serink] 0.0.0.0:5900 means listening on all interfaces. That is not quite right but if you fix the above, you should be ok.

Re: SSH Connection Issue: No configured security type

John,

Thanks for your continued assistance. I now have everything working.

The ssh server was configured correctly - the copssh frontend configures tunneling when setting up a user (but I believe that the openssh default is for tunneling yes anyway? But you have now taught me where to look for config issues!

The issue turned out to be that my work computer (that I was using for testing) was already listening on 5900 (I overlooked that we all have vnc servers on our work machines), so locahost:5900 was not going through the SSH. I have now tunneled a non-standard port, and it is working fine. I was obviously doing sometihng wrong when attempting your original instructions that used a non-standard port.

Thanks once again for the help, it is much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Brendan

RE: SSH Connection Issue: No configured security type

Hi Brendon:
 
you could also tell putty to have you local machine to tunnel thetunneledIP:5900 to say 13000, then you TVNC to localhost::13000 and that will work as well.
 
Glad you got it working.

Timeout related to IP change in GATEWAY.

Hello All,,,,   :) :)
 
Been looking for a timeout period in the TightVNC Listener/Client that might be related to
the length of time the Listner/Client stops if no contact with the TightVNC SERVER for "X" number of Minutes or Milliseconds.
 
We are using a GATEWAY that is set for DYNAMIC IP allocation and the ISP will change the IP from time-to-time (about 3 times daily)......
 
Also, we use a service/application that allows us to use a URI/URL. That service/application only updates the URI/URL with the new GATEWAY IP once every 4 minutes.
 
We are using other applications (VOIP---XLITE) which does not terminate that uses the same URL/URI. It may take as long as 4 minutes to regain communication but this application continues to run and contact will continue when the new IP is updated to the URI/URL database.
 
Is there a timeout that can be set so that TightVNC Listener/Client will continue to listen for "X" number of minutes????
 
THANKS for your time, help, and advice!!!   :) :)
 
Jerry

Question about install unix tightVNC 1.3.10

Hi,

I am installing the TightVNC 1.3.10 on my imac; but it is not successful.  According to the instruction, I suppose to have "X" install.  I saw X11 in my utility.  I think that satisfied the requirement.

Now, it is expecting JPEG and zlib in /usr/bin.  Although I cant find JPEG from the ftp site the instruction indicated, I googled and download a similar one.  Is it ok, am I suppose to put it in /usr/bin/ or any other places?

Next is the zlib.  I have it in /usr/bin/.  I think I am ready to build everything.

I return to the vnc_unixsrc folder and type: xmkmf.  The machine response: command not found.  What did I do wrong?

Sharon

Any fixes to RANDR error?

I have 3 headless Ubuntu machines with 10.04 and 10.10, and 
have seen this error for some time, but it never seemed to cause 
an issue that I could see.

Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":79.0".

But now I have a program that uses png graphics, and they don't 
display. The Xtightvnc server is running on these machines. I'm 
not clear on why this issue happens, or how exactly it only effects 
png images displayed in tool bars. 

The same program displays  fine on my Fedora machines that 
have the tigervnc that is the default?
