We did not want to be tied down to conforming to the VNC protocol and wanted a single unified application rather than 3 separate components (TigerVNC, noVNC, websockify). # VNC Protocol -KasmVNC gets rid of the VNC service which by default listens on port 5901. While you can configure KasmVNC to enable that service, we provides no guarantees that we will keep VNC protocol compatibility.

We have completely removed the VNC password and replaced it with HTTP Basic Authentication. Eventually we will replace basic auth with a more comprehensive authentication and session handling approach.
