RE: Does realvnc really support LDAP auth?
Hi Ryan, To ensure a timely response to questions regarding VNC Enterprise Edition, please submit support requests via http://www.realvnc.com/support.html VNC Enterprise Edition supports authentication via PAM, which in turn may be configured to authenticate users using LDAP. If you have already configured system-auth (or equivalent) to use LDAP then modifying the vncserver PAM configuration to call on to system-auth should enable LDAP authentication for VNC. Please refer to the PAM documentation for details on how to configure PAM authentication. PAM authentication is enabled for VNC Server by setting UserPasswdVerifier to UnixAuth. The PasswordFile parameter is not required if UnixAuth is configured.

I tried realvnc enterprise edition 4.4.3 for x86_64 but with no luck, there has no guide for LDAP setup, even has no such discussion from google's searching result, so I doubt if realvnc really works with LDAP. The default /etc/vnc/config use -PasswordFile, and when I connect with vncview(enterprise edition), it told me either username recognised or incorrect password. When I add the -UserPasswdVerifier UnixAuth and comment -PasswordFile, it shows the same result. No more hints found in .vnc/:1:log Here is the instruction for enterprise realvnc, which declaims LDAP works http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/vnc/announce/51?page=last Has anybody did it succ?Your comments are highly appreciated! PS: My LDAP server(fedora directory server) works fine. -- FIXME if it is wrong. ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list ___ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
VNC free edition 4.1.3 on HP-UX
Hello I had problems on HP-UX 11.23 ia64 with the latest free version of VNC available at http://www.realvnc.com - version 4.1.3. I installed the product from the prepared depot - vnc-4_1_3-parisc_hpux.depot. When I tried to start vncserver I received this error and the application core dumped: ### bnuxc208:(/root/home/root/.vnc)(root)#vncserver -ac You will require a password to access your desktops. /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory [HP ARIES32]: Core file for 32 bit PA-RISC application [HP ARIES32]: /usr/local/bin/vncpasswd saved to /root/home/root/core.vncpasswd. cat: Cannot open /root/home/root/.vnc/passwd: No such file or directory New 'bnuxc208:1 ()' desktop is bnuxc208:1 Starting applications specified in /root/home/root/.vnc/xstartup Log file is /root/home/root/.vnc/bnuxc208:1.log ### bnuxc208:(/root/home/root/.vnc)(root)#cat bnuxc208:1.log /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libstdc++.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory [HP ARIES32]: Core file for 32 bit PA-RISC application [HP ARIES32]: /usr/local/bin/Xvnc saved to /root/home/root/core.Xvnc. xsetroot: unable to open display 'bnuxc208:1' /usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.sl /usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory [HP ARIES32]: Core file for 32 bit PA-RISC application [HP ARIES32]: /usr/local/bin/vncconfig saved to /root/home/root/core.vncconfig. twm: unable to open display bnuxc208:1 xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s ### The previous version of VNC - 4.1.2 - does not have this issue. Installing 4.1.2 solved my problem. I saw that you had such issues in the past but there was no info how the problem was solved. I guess this is a matter of how you compile the software.

Hope Google could get this mail quickily, so other guys could avoid this trouble.
