I installed x11vnc. I found a post saying you can do ssl with it:wadesmart@wadesmart:~$ x11vnc -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd -https -ssl SAVE-display :0So this starts the service. I have both 5800 and 5900 fowarded alongwith port 80 (and 80 is working) but when I use the address:https://host:5800 -> Unable to connecthttps://host:5900 -> Connection was interrupted.
Did you try :5801 or :5901. On my Suse it is similar but to get the firstremote it's the port + 1, thus 5801 or 5901.Give it a shot..
Since I want to connect to the desktop to provide support 5900 or 5800is the one I need to connect to. As I understand it 5901 would be thenext desktop.But I have tried with the same results.
Any chance it's a firewall problem, or authentication problem?I have done Linux - Linux, and Win - Linux without problems, but not on Ubuntuyet.
I was able to use tightvnc viewer on windows to access my computer but Icould only see things. I couldnt refresh the screen. But that doesnthelp anyway as this needs to work through a browser. But the firewall isset to allow those ports.At this point I think that the vnc-java is not either being found or isnot running.
