Chapter 6, Setting Up VNC Server
VNC Server permits encrypted, authenticated connections to the host computer on which it runs out-of-the-box. You should not need to configure it. However, you can change almost any aspect to suit your requirements and environment if you wish.
This chapter explains how to work with VNC Server. It also explains advanced scenarios such as running multiple instances concurrently, configuring network communications, and restricting access to functionality for connected users. This chapter assumes you have access to the host computer and sufficient privileges to configure both it and VNC Server. If you are setting up VNC Server on your own computer for remote access, note that some features require a user to be present at the host computer in order to work.
Note: For more information on security, see Chapter 7, Security.
