Does realvnc really support LDAP auth?

[James Weatherall]

Hi Ryan,

To ensure a timely response to questions regarding VNC Enterprise Edition,
please submit support requests via http://www.realvnc.com/support.html

VNC Enterprise Edition supports authentication via PAM, which in turn may be
configured to authenticate users using LDAP.  If you have already configured
"system-auth" (or equivalent) to use LDAP then modifying the "vncserver" PAM
configuration to call on to "system-auth" should enable LDAP authentication
for VNC.  Please refer to the PAM documentation for details on how to
configure PAM authentication.

PAM authentication is enabled for VNC Server by setting UserPasswdVerifier to
"UnixAuth".  The PasswordFile parameter is not required if UnixAuth is
configured.

Regards,
