Identities
This feature helps your VNC viewer to confirm that a revisited Vista Remote 2 unit is genuine and not another device masquerading as an Vista Remote 2. The list given will retain the identities of all visited units (that have full security enabled).
When you first make a secure connection to the Vista Remote 2, the security information for that Vista Remote unit is cached within this Identities tab (i.e. the “identity” is known). The next time that you connect to the Vista Remote 2 unit, its identity is checked against the stored version. If a mismatch is found between the current and the stored identities then a warning will be issued to you.
If an existing Vista Remote 2 unit is fully reconfigured then it will need to be issued with a new identity. In this case the previous identity, listed in this tab, should be removed so that a new identity can be created on the next connection.
