External VNC Client

I think it feature under develop.

Now, for external VNC you can try use "nc" and "qm vncproxy".

 

nc -l -p 5901 -c "qm vncproxy MachineID PASSWORD" dont know is that is working in 2.0. but that is what i use in 1.9

 

not working, the qm vncproxy in 2.0 is "qm vncproxy MachineID" but not "qm vncproxy MachineID PASSWORD".

When i tried

nc -l -p 5901 -c "qm vncproxy MachineID"

error from vnc client

"No matching security types"

;-(

 

Does anyone have a suggestion for a Debian Squeeze client which supports 'client which support TLS vencrypt plain auth' ?


I have been testing remmina and so far have not got it working yet. googled and it seems to support tls..

 

at last i found it, you can use for win or linux

tigervnc from sourceforge

username must be "root@pam"

 

this is in inetd.conf:

Code:

29006 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 100 secretpw

the qm is running :

Code:

root      708707       1  3 Oct25 ?        00:35:12 /usr/bin/kvm -id 100 -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/run/qemu-server/100.mon,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/100.vnc,x509,password -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/100.pid -daemonize -readconfig /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-usb.cfg -device usb-tablet,bus=ehci.0,port=6 -name pro4-kvm -smp sockets=2,cores=2 -nodefaults -boot menu=on,order=c -vga cirrus -tdf -k en-us -drive if=none,id=drive-ide2,media=cdrom,aio=native -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide2,id=device-ide2 -device lsi,id=scsi0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/dev/drbdvg/vm-100-disk-1,if=none,id=drive-scsi0,aio=native,boot=on -device scsi-disk,bus=scsi0.0,scsi-id=0,drive=drive-scsi0,id=device-scsi0 -m 1024 -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap100i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge -device rtl8139,romfile=,mac=1A:91:42:AD:73:29,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12 -cpuunits 1000

for user name, I tried root@pam, root, and the normal empty. attached is a pic of the error message from a failled attempt to connect, and the configuration :



on this system, I had to install openbsd-inetd , maybe there is another package needed?

I do have vnc connections working with our proxmox 1.9 system.

when I get more time to work on this, I'll google that error msg.

 

could you give an example of what to put in the server line of 'vncviewer'

for instance for root@pam , how do I put with:
10.100.100.158:29006
edit:

ok I figured it out, I had this in inetd.conf on prox host:

29006 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 3001 # password


removed the comment so to have:
29006 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 3001

then vncviewer worked.

testing the connection using telnet with ' telnet fbc158 29006 ' made testing the connection easy.

 

Hi,
tigervnc work well (short test),
but know anyone how to add an machine to another user than root?
The "dirty" way in pve1.x to use an second user with uid 0 don't work:

Code:

Dec  7 11:09:43 proxmox3 pvedaemon[100870]: authentication failure; rhost= user=spell@pam msg=no permission (/vms/310, VM.Console)
