Access a VM Through Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
You can access the services and resources that an Oracle SOA Cloud Service VM provides by logging into the VM through VNC.
You can use any VNC client utility to access a VM. For example, if you are using Windows, you might use RealVNC or TightVNC; if you are using Linux, you might use the vncviewer
utility included with your Linux distribution.
By default, the port used by the VNC server on a Oracle SOA Cloud Service VM is not directly accessible through the Internet. An SSH tunnel enables access to the VNC server port on your local machine. An SSH tunnel also ensures that VNC communication is using a secure channel.
In order create a VNC session on a VM, you must first identify the public IP address and connect to it with SSH:
Note:
After your VNC work is complete, you can perform a<ctrl> C
to shut down the SSH tunnel.
Note:
To terminate the VNC server on the VM, runvncserver —kill :1
