Description Stephan Buehne 2006-05-09 08:47:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I'm using the vncserver for different users at the same time on a remote server. Although kdrc stores the password in kdewallet it seems that kdrc does not store the connection specific address (e.g. host:1, host:2) but only the hostname.
So if one is using on the same host more than one vnc session, the first attempt to connect to this host by using the stored password always fails, if another connection, using a different password was used before.
Example:
- run two vnc session on the the host "HOST1" for the users "USER1" and "USER2". For both sessions, different password are used. The vnc connections for these sessions are HOST1:2 and HOST1:3
- Connect to USER1 on HOST1:2 You are prompted for the password (correct behaviour)
- Connect to USER2 on HOST1:3 kdr tries to use the password stored for HOST1:2, which fails, because the sessions use different passwords. You have to restart the connection and reenter the password for Host1:3
- - Connect to USER1 on HOST1:2 The connection fails again, because now the password for USER2 on vnc HOST1:3 is used.....

So it would be nice, if not only the hostname is stored, but also the vnc specific screen definition, to allow multiple logons on the same server with different passwords
