Install VNC server on Azure Linux VM(RHEL/OEL/CENTOS) with Demo Video

Install VNC server on Azure Linux VM(RHEL/OEL/CENTOS) with Demo Video


In this post I am going to share how to install vnc server on a Azure VM having Linux OS(RHEL/Centos/OEL). This can be performed on on-premises Linux servers as well.



Steps:

All steps I have performed using root user.

1) Install the required RPMS

yum install tigervnc-server
yum install xterm
yum install xclock

2)Install the GUI Graphic mode in Linux by default its not installed. It will take 15-20 minutes (optional only)

yum -y group install GNOME base-x

3)Set the Password for VNC for current User.

$ vncpasswd

Example:
[root@myebs1 ~]$ vncpasswd
Password:
Verify:
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n
A view-only password is not used

[root@myebs1 ~]$

4) Enable the firewall for the 5901 ports.

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5901/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Example:
[root@myebs1 ~]$ firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=5901/tcp
success
[root@myebs1 ~]$ firewall-cmd --reload
success

5) Start the VNCSERVER service.

$ vncserver

Example:
[root@myebs1 ~]$ vncserver
xauth:  file /home/root/.Xauthority does not exist

New 'myebs1:1 (root)' desktop is myebs1:1

Creating default startup script /home/root/.vnc/xstartup
Creating default config /home/root/.vnc/config
Starting applications specified in /home/root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/root/.vnc/myebs1:1.log

6) Check VNC server start listening with following command:

[root@myebs1 ~]$ netstat -tlnp
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5355            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5901            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      35193/Xvnc

7) New Inbound Network rule.
Go to the Network security Setting in Azure Portal. Add new inbound network policy for PORT 5901 with 320 priority for that virtual machine. It will enable the PORT 5901 for incoming connection to VM.

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool

WebLogic migration to OCI using WDT tool Oracle WebLogic Deploy Tool (WDT) is an open-source project designed to simplify and streamline the management of Oracle WebLogic Server domains. 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...
