#1 Authentication issue

DRC — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 19:25:00 -0000

I have no idea, unfortunately. I duplicated the settings in your /etc/turbovnc-security.conf file, as well as your /etc/pam.d/turbovnc file, and it works fine for me on CentOS 6.8. Maybe NIS is causing the problem. If not, then I'm clueless. The symptoms of the problem would suggest some sort of issue with PAM authentication, but PAM user/password authentication is used by thousands of other TurboVNC users around the world, and no one else has reported a problem like this. TurboVNC works fine with the default PAM settings on RHEL 6. Perhaps one of your other PAM files, such as system-auth, is the culprit.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.
Please find the below details.

$cat /etc/pam.d/turbovnc

%PAM-1.0

auth include system-auth
account include system-auth
password substack system-auth
-password optional pam_gnome_keyring.so

using Vncviewer.jar, once open the VNC viewer there is option to enter the VNC server with port number, after that entering the VNC credentials.

This is a patch tracker, meant only for patch submissions, not for bug reports or feature requests. We do not use SourceForge to track bug reports/feature requests anymore. In the future, please post all bug reports/feature requests to GitHub rather than trying to subvert our project's wishes by posting bug reports where they do not belong.

I cannot reproduce the issue you are describing. Please post the contents of your /etc/pam.d/turbovnc file. Also please specify which VNC viewer you are using and how you are launching the TurboVNC Server.
