[jira] [Commented] (GUACAMOLE-1267) Add option to the vnc protocol to disable remote input

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1267?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17468082#comment-17468082 ] 

Nick Couchman commented on GUACAMOLE-1267:
------------------------------------------

Is the goal to disable remote input, or disable local input? Remote input would be disabling input from the VNC protocol, which I believe already exists? Disabling local input would disable local keyboard/mouse when VNC is connected, allowing only remote (VNC) input.

>          Components: Documentation, VNC
>            Reporter: Stefan Feenstra
>            Priority: Minor

> For security reasons it can be a required feature to have remote input disabled when using the VNC protocol (e.g. on remote costumer facing terminals, self service terminals etc).
>  
> Suggested solution is to add a setting "disable-server-input" which when set will send a message to the VNC client asking to disable the input.
