Bug 179972

Summary: Encryption feature for sysutils/synergy-devel 1.4.12 appears to be non-functional.

Description lordsith49 2013-06-25 18:30:00 UTC 
When defining any encryption options for the synergys daemon, the client cannot connect. The message on the client side is:
WARNING: failed to connect to server: Protocol error from server

When no encryption method is defined everything works as expected.

How-To-Repeat: Synergy Server is FreeBSD 8.4 desktop (synergy-devel-1.4.12)
Synergy Client is Windows 7 32bit desktop (synergy-1.4.12-Windows-x86.exe)

Set up simple ~/.synergy.conf defining the two desktops.

Run daemon with following settings:
/usr/local/bin/synergys --crypto-pass MyPassWord --crypto-mode gcm

Configure Windows client with Password: MyPassWord and Mode: GCM (Galios/Counter)

The process was repeated for the other supported modes (ofb, cfb and ctr)

Fix synopsis and assign.

Follow up:I tried using 1.4.15 (via simple bump of PORTVERSION and tweaking distinfo) since there have been some releases to fix encryption within synergy. It still did not work with FreeBSD acting as the server.

The sysutils/synergy-devel port has been replaced by sysutils/synergy port and since then upgraded many times up to 1.6.2 so this PR is no longer relevant and I am closing it.
