I'm using TigerVNC Viewer v 1.15 on Windows to connect to 10 Raspberry Pi 5 systems running Bookworm with X11 and RealVNC Server v 7.13.1 in Service Mode.

Everything is working correctly, but I'm trying to streamline the connection process to minimize the interactions required to connect to all 10 RPs.  The Windows computer and the RPs are connected to a cabled ethernet switch and not connected to the internet in any way, so there is no utility for me to confirm the "Server key fingerprint" every time I connect to one the RPs.

Is there any way to prevent that confirmation diagram from popping up every time?  If not, could that option be added as an option specified at the command line or in a configuration file?

No, unfortunately the viewer doesn't yet have the functionality to
remember the key, or to provide an expected one beforehand.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Thank you Pierre for the prompt reply.

I'll see what I can do with AutoIT to streamline interaction with TigerVNC Viewer while the initial connection is being established.
