Logging In Remotely to Trusted Extensions

Virtual network computing (VNC) provides a way for you to access a central Trusted Extensions system from your laptop or home computer. The administrator at your site must configure the Oracle Solaris Xvnc software to run on a Trusted Extensions server and a VNC viewer to run on the client systems. You can work at any label in your label range that is installed on the server.

How to Log In to a Remote Trusted Extensions Desktop

Before You Begin

Your administrator has set up an Xvnc server. For pointers, see How to Configure a Trusted Extensions System With Xvnc for Remote Access in Trusted Extensions Configuration and Administration.

  1. In a terminal window, connect to the Xvnc server.

    Type the name of the server that your administrator has configured with Xvnc.

    % /usr/bin/vncviewer Xvnc-server
  2. Log in.

    Follow the procedures in Logging In to Trusted Extensions.

    You can now work on the Trusted Extensions desktop in the VNC viewer.
