I have a RHEL 6 system with TigerVNC installed. It is configured to only allow VNC connections through SSH. Thus, a user can only connect to VNC if they successfully establish an SSH connection to the system.
However, despite the SSH requirement, a user must still run the vncpasswd
command and create a VNC password. Isn't this password redundant since an SSH tunnel is required and must already be established?
Thus, my question is: Can you disable the TigerVNC server's requirement for a VNC Password if it will only listen on an SSH tunnel? (Assuming that the password is actually redundant)
Thank You
EDIT: I have a theory. Is the reason why it is not redundant because once you SSH in, you can then VNC into any VNC user's account?
