To enable support for the OpenStack Java VNC client in
compute, run the nova-xvpvncproxy service.
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 need a special Java client, which is a slightly modified version of TightVNC that supports our token auth:
$ git clone https://github.com/cloudbuilders/nova-xvpvncviewer $ cd nova-xvpvncviewer $ make
To create a session, request an access URL by using python-novaclient. Then, run the client as follows.
To get an access URL:
$ nova get-vnc-console [server_id] xvpvnc
To run the client:
$ java -jar VncViewer.jar [access_url]
