How to create a TigerVNC auto-login shortcut in Windows

Hi,

I've followed the instructions on the Wiki to gain access to my VM via TigerVNC, & it works properly from Windows 7.

Now I'd like to configure the client to automatically connect to the console when I launch it from a shortcut.

First I tried saving the connection from the TigerVNC client window into a .tigervnc file, but it wouldn't launch, giving a 'host not found' error although I could connect through the client connect dialog with the same settings.

I'm able to connect via a standard Windows shortcut, using the following command (Where 'x' is the IP, & 'y' is the port):

Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TigerVNC\vncviewer.exe" x.x.x.x:yyyyy

But every time I connect via this method I have to first click 'Yes' to a dialog which asks:
"Hostname (x.x.x.x) does not match any certificate, do you want to continue?"

Then I have to log in & type "root@pam" & the password before it'll finally bring up a screen.


I can't seem to find any information on how to completely automate this process so that all I have to do to get a local screen is click the shortcut icon.

Does anyone here know how?


Thanks in advance,
-J
