Smart Card Logon: The Smart Card Logon provides two-factor authentication that allows the Dameware Mini Remote Control user to authenticate to a remote system using a Smart Card and PIN at the local system without requiring a Smart Card reader at the remote system. Examples of these situations include when Domain Controllers have been configured to disallow anonymous connections, NT Challenge / Response has been disabled, or when using any of the Home versions of Windows Operating Systems. This authentication method is designed primarily for situations where NT Challenge/Response authentication is not possible or fails. Windows NT Challenge/Response: This authentication method uses the integrated security of the Windows operating system to connect to a remote system.Įncrypted Windows Logon: The Encrypted Windows Logon is similar to the Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication method except that it sends the User Name and Password to the remote system in an encrypted format. The User Name and Password are stored in encrypted format in the Registry of the remote system. Proprietary Challenge/Response: This authentication method works by having a custom proprietary User Name and Password defined in the settings of the Dameware Mini Remote Control client agent service on the remote system. If an agent is not installed on the remote machine, it is installed during the connection. Although this method may not be as convenient as establishing a VPN or SSL connection to a LAN, for many users it provides a way of supporting customers or administrating remote computers not on a LAN.ĭameware Mini Remote Control supports the following connection methods:Ĭonnects to the MRC agent installed on the remote Windows machine.
