4.3.3 Desktop Sharing: VNC Access Profile
The VNC/RFB Access Profile (connection method) is used to connect to non-Windows systems or when cross-platform access is required. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer.
The VNC Access Profile offers enhanced performance and features optimized for Thinfinity® Workspace.
To create a VNC Access Profile and publish your remote non-Windows desktop:
Select an Access Profile Type
In the first screen of the Access Profile Wizard select Desktop and click Next.
Set Up the Connection
Select the desktop you want to publish:
Select This PC if you want to publish the desktop of the current computer.
Select Another PC if want to publish the desktop of a different computer. If you select Another PC, you will also have to specify the IP address of the target PC and a Broker Pool (optional and depending on the current deployment configuration).
Address
Creates a connection to a remote PC. Enter the IP address of the target resource and a Broker Pool (optional).
Managed VMs
Creates a connection to an existing VM.
VDI/DaaS Models
Creates a connection to a VDI model.
Configure the Profile
The wizard helps define the minimal parameters so that the connection to the final resource can function. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the Access Profile. For details, see VNC Access Profile.
Commit the Changes
To implement the defined connection parameters, click Commit.
If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.
If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
