When you connect to the server you will have to insert the private key in the NoMachine User Interface (UI) of whichever client device you are using.

Support for key-based authentication with the NX protocol requires the public SSH key be added on the server side, in the user's home, to grant access. Instead of requesting the user's password, the authentication relies on a SSH key-pair, consisting of a public key installed on the server host and on a private key owned by the user. Key-based authentication is an alternative to password-based authentication (default). Maybe this fits your case better since you were asking about installing NoMachine player.This article applies to NoMachine v. Intended for the "Enterprises", as the name implies, but you can surely install as well. Consider also that there is the Enterprise Client available, that doesn't include any server software. If the server is shut down, and told to not start at startup, nobody will be able to connect and nobody will be able to visualize your desktop, so "disabling desktop sharing" won't even be necessary because no process will be running after a shutdown.įorgot to say. If you want to do it directly from the server settings, from the same monitor menu choose "Show the service status" and then select "Shutdown the server".

You will be asked if you want to run the NoMachine application at the next startup: choose 'No' to disable the automatic start of NoMachine services at boot time. If you want to shutdown the server, from the same monitor menu, choose "Close the NoMachine application". If you want to "disable desktop sharing" you can simply do it by doing click on the "Accepting connection is enabled" in the !M monitor (in system tray). You should do a "Shutdown", not a "Stop" of the server.
