How to setup Real VNC to interoperate with standard VNC on your Raspberry Pi.

## Real VNC & Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry PI supports multiple operating system distributions. The default used
is often Raspbian, which has a VNC-similar server installed called Real VNC.

Real VNC is not enabled by default. It also uses a proprietary authentication scheme
by default.

To enable VNC on your Raspberry Pi and access via Agilicus Any-X, you may use the
option panel, changing the Authentication from “Unix password” to “VNC password”.
Or, if you prefer, you may edit the text files as below.

 1. Add **Authentication=VncAuth** to **/root/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11**

    ```wp-block-code
    # cat /root/.vnc/config.d/vncserver-x11
    _AnlLastConnTime=int64:0000000000000000
    _LastUpdateCheckSuccessTime=int64:01d8f9c1abad5c0a
    _LastUpdateCheckTime=int64:01d8f9c1abad5c0a
    Authentication=VncAuth
    Password=d00971cd8cacb99e
    ViewOnlyPassword=d00971cd8cacb99e
    ```

2. set a VNC password (optionally read-only)

    ```wp-block-code
    $ vncpasswd -service
    Password:
    Verify:
    ```

Now enable/restart the vnc service:

    ```wp-block-code
    systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced
    systemctl restart vncserver-x11-serviced
    ```

## Encryption

The Real VNC Server supports a super-set of the Encryption supported by Agilicus
AnyX. You may need to set “Prefer On” to allow the two sides to negotiate.

At this stage you can follow the standard directions to create a VNC Desktop

 1. Resources/Desktops/New
 2. Add user permissions to new desktop
 3. Open Profile and select the desktop
