Other VNC Clients Compatible with TurboVNC Server?

[Andrew]

Hello. I am using TurboVNC in a program ground system deployment. Operators use TurboVNC viewer installed on their program-furnished laptops to connect to remote TurboVNC server sessions. ACLs and Security Types are used.

The problem I have encountered is apparently TurboVNC and TigerVNC are listed by Homeland Security as "unauthorized software" meaning admins are no longer allowing the client software on the program-furnished laptops. 

I am trying to find a client-side replacement that will still be compatible with the TurboVNC server sessions, but thus far have not found anything, particularly given the fact the ACLs and security Types are in use. 

Has anyone (users, developers, maintainers, etc.) ever used clients other than TurboVNC or TigerVNC to connect to a TurboVNC server session?  If so, any recommendations?

Thank you for any feedback on this question.

I'm curious as to why TurboVNC and TigerVNC are listed as "unauthorized".  Is that just due to the fact that no one has gone to the trouble of qualifying them, or is there a known issue that prevents them from being acceptable?  TurboVNC and TigerVNC are the best-maintained and most secure open source VNC viewers out there, so if they aren't authorized, then you're not likely to find another open source VNC viewer that is authorized (except perhaps by way of an error of omission.)  If there is an issue that prevents TurboVNC from being acceptable, then I am more than happy to fix it, but if it is being rejected out of some bureaucratic technological misunderstanding, then there isn't much I can do about that.  Your only hope would be if the RealVNC Viewer is authorized and supports the VeNCrypt extensions, but I'm not aware that it does.  ACLs are fortunately a server-side extension, so they don't require explicit client support.  You would just need to find an authorized VNC viewer that supports VeNCrypt.
