To enable support for the OpenStack Java VNC client in Compute, we provide the nova-xvpvncproxy service, which you should run to enable this feature.
xvpvncproxy_port=[port]- port to bind (defaults to 6081)xvpvncproxy_host=[host]- host to bind (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
As a client, you will need a special Java client, which is a version of TightVNC slightly modified to support our token auth:
$ git clone https://github.com/cloudbuilders/nova-xvpvncviewer $ cd nova-xvpvncviewer $ make
Then, to create a session, first request an access URL using python-novaclient and then run the client like so. To retrieve access URL:
$ nova get-vnc-console [server_id] xvpvnc
To run client:
$ java -jar VncViewer.jar [access_url]
