Clipboard in “View Only” Virtual Desktop copied from shadowing session

[riekuzbonn-de]

When connected to a virtual display as trusted user in shadowing  mode (VirtualDesktopMode “view only” set), the clipboard from the shadowing user overwrites the clipboard of the interactive user. Is this a bug, a feature or have we misconfigured the server.cfg? I would expect the clipboard to be disabled when using VirtualDesktopMode = 0.

We use these setting:

VirtualDesktopMode: 0

EnableClipboard: client

 

Product: NoMachine Terminal Server Evaluation – Version 6.9.2

OS: Debian 10, Desktop Mate

Client OS: Windows 10

Hi,

I think you make a good point about disabling clipboard in ViewOnly mode. However you can already avoid that by setting ‘server’ or ‘none’ in the EnableClipboard key.

# client: The content copied on the client can be pasted inside the
#         NX session.
#
# server: The content copied inside the NX session can be pasted
#         on the client.
#
# both:   The copy&paste operations are allowed between both the
#         client and the NX session and vice versa.
#
# none:   The copy&paste operations between the client and the NX
#         session are never allowed.

Thank you, we are using “none” as workaround now.

Perhaps this could still be corrected in a future update.
