VNC/RFB 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.

To access the VNC/RFB Access Profile settings, navigate to Configuration Manager>Access Profiles then click Add and select VNC/RFB. Alternatively, double-click a VNC/RFB profile from the list or select it and click Edit.

If you want to customize it, make sure your address is unique and web-compatible and that it has the following format: http(s)://ThinfinityDomain:port/VirtualPath/. You can then create a web shortcut for this specific connection and bypass the Thinfinity® Workspace web interface.
