Accessing an Instance Using VNC

In release 16.1.2 and onwards, you can access instances using VNC. After you log in to the instance, you can perform standard operations on the operating system.

Before you can access your instance using VNC, your Oracle Cloud administrator must enable VNC access. Contact your Oracle Cloud Administrator to verify if VNC access has been enabled.
  1. Log in to the UI and go to the Self Service Portal.
  2. Click the Home tab.
  3. In the Services section, click the orchestration that contains the instance.
    All the instances in the orchestration are displayed.
  4. Under the VNC URL column, click the URL for the instance that you want to access.
    A Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) file is downloaded.
  5. Open the JNLP file to start the VNC console.

    Note:

    If an “Application Blocked by Java Security” error message is displayed, you must add the displayed address to the Exception Site List. For more information on editing the Exception Site List, see the following link: https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/exception_sitelist.xml
