[SOLVED] VNC password protection problem

[borsor]

Hello,

After a fresh installed Proxmox 6.1-3, i tried to turn on password protection for a vnc, but it says "Authentication failed".

What i tried (as in the documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VNC_Client_Access)

Created a centos 7 VM ---> Monitor
change vnc 0.0.0.0:100,password
#here i can see it's listening on port 6000
set_password vnc foobar1

the vnc client asks for password, but won't accept anything (Authentication failed message)

Without the password it works fine.

Could you please help me if I made a mistake?

Thank you!

hi,

additionally try the: expire_password vnc +30 command after set_password
