– You need to check for the installed packages of the VNC server.
– Configure VNC
– Enable VNC services

Steps to configure VNC is as follows.

[symple_box color=”gray” fade_in=”false” float=”center” text_align=”left” width=””]

pkginfo -x | grep -i VNC

svcs -a | grep -i vnc    #to check if the package is install and service status

gedit /etc/services           # open the editor

vnc-server 5900/tcp # Xvnc              ##add this line under the port number order and save the file

gedit /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf

#add these lines

[xdmcp]

Enable=true

[security]

DisallowTCP=false

AllowRoot=true

AllowRemoteRoot=true

 

svcadm enable xvnc-inetd#

svcs xvnc-inetd                       #shows the online status of the service

There are still possibilities that the system is accessed through VNC but you get the error which states “not on system console root login rejected”. This error occurs because you are not allowed to access via root login and works fine with other user. To fix this you need to make few more changes.
