Installing and Configuring VNC Server on Linux

Installing and Configuring VNC Server on Linux



In this post I am going to share the steps to install VNC server on Linux/Oracle Enterprise Linux server.

1)Install the VNC Server.

yum install tigervnc-server

2) Edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers" file to configure the required displays. 

 Note: Multiple "display:user" pairs are defined on a single line, but the arguments for each display are defined separately.

VNCSERVERS="2:root 3:oracle"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1280x1024 -nolisten tcp -localhost"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"

3) Setup the VNC password for all users defined in the "/etc/sysconfig/vncservers" file.
Root User
# vncpasswd
Password:
Verify:
#

Oracle User
# su - oracle
$ vncpasswd
Password:
Verify:


4) From root user enable the "vncserver" service for autostart and start the service.

chkconfig vncserver on
 service vncserver start

5)Now install/use VNC viewer to connect to system using the display numbers and passwords defined.
hostname:2--> for root
hostname:3--> for oracle



6)Use the following commands to stop the service and disable autostart.

service vncserver stop
chkconfig vncserver off

With WDT, you can export configuration and application files from one WebLogic Server domain and import them into another, making it a highly effective tool for tasks like migrating on-premises WebLogic configurations to Oracle Cloud. This blog outlines a detailed step-by-step process for using WDT to migrate WebLogic resources and configurations. Supported WLS versions Why Use WDT for Migration? When moving Oracle WebLogic resources from an on-premises environment to Oracle Cloud (or another WebLogic Server), WDT provides an efficient and reliable approach to: Discover and export domain configurations and application binaries. Create reusable models and archives for deployment in a target domain. Key Pre-Requisites Source System: An Oracle WebLogic Server with pre-configured resources such as: Applica...

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database

How to Validate TDE Wallet Password in Oracle Database Validating the Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) wallet password is crucial, especially when ensuring that the password is correct without using the OPEN or CLOSE commands in the database. This blog post explains a straightforward method to validate the TDE password using the mkstore utility. Steps to Validate TDE Wallet Password Follow these steps to validate the TDE wallet password: Step 1: Copy the Keystore/Wallet File Navigate to your existing TDE wallet directory. Copy only the ewallet.p12 file to a new directory. If a cwallet.sso file exists, do not copy it . The absence of cwallet.sso ensures that the wallet does not use auto-login, forcing the utility to prompt for the password. Step 2: Validate Using mkstore Use the mkstore utility to check the contents of the wallet file. The mkstore utility will prompt you for the TDE wallet password, allowing you to validate its correctness. Command Syntax To display the conten...
