Setting Up <strong>VNC</strong> Server<br />

Once licensed, <strong>VNC</strong> Server permits connections to the host computer on which it runs out-of-the-box. You<br />

should not need to configure it. However, you can change almost any aspect to suit your requirements and<br />

environment if you wish.<br />

This chapter explains how to operate <strong>VNC</strong> Server. It also explains advanced scenarios such as running<br />

multiple instances concurrently, configuring ports, and restricting access to features for connected users. For<br />

comprehensive information on security, see Chapter 7, Making Connections Secure on page 97.<br />

This chapter assumes you have access to the host computer and sufficient privileges to configure both it and<br />

<strong>VNC</strong> Server. Note that if you are setting up <strong>VNC</strong> Server on your own computer for remote access, some<br />

features require a host computer user to be present when the connection is established, and should<br />

therefore be avoided.<br />
