VNC - Remembering password?

[laptopdude90]

Hi, I want to use Proxmox as a thin client server. I have VNC working properly, however, I want it to remember the password. I don't want to put in set_password vnc password every time a thin client user wants to reboot.
Are there any workarounds?

Any pve user can login on VNC (no need for workarounds)

I know that, but what keeps person A from connecting to person B's account?

Person A hopefully do not know B's password!

If this is the case you are doomed anyway

That's my question! How do I get Proxmox to remember a password?

Create a user (see GUI)

Will that let me log in to VNC and deny people from connecting without a password?

Sure. Just remember that you need to login with <username>@<realm>, for example 'root@pam'.
Or if you create a user testuser on realm 'pve' use 'testuser@pve'.

I've created a user, now I'm stuck. What do I do next?

I can see where to put the password in on my client (TightVNC) but where do I put my username?
