For Windows 8 and 10, most desktop screens manufactured after 2011 should be supported, including major manufacturers such as Dell and Samsung.
Screen blanking is hardware-dependent for Windows 8 and 10, so we recommend testing those systems first to make sure screen blanking will be effective:įor Windows 7 and earlier, most hardware should be supported. This is “curtain mode” – equivalent to turning the monitor(s) of a remote computer off so people in the vicinity can’t see what you’re doing. You can blank the screens of most Windows computers (up to and including Windows 10). If you have an Enterprise subscription and a suitable corporate network, you can set up single sign-on (SSO) for VNC Server. If you have a Professional or Enterprise subscription, you can change the default system authentication scheme to specify multi-factor authentication for VNC Server. You can register other users with VNC Server so they can connect using their own familiar system account credentials if you wish.
Simply connect using the same user name and password you normally use to log on to your user account on that computer. If you have a Professional or Enterprise subscription, then by default VNC Server is integrated into the credentialing mechanism of the remote computer, so you don’t have to create or remember yet another password. You must specify at least 6 case-sensitive letters, numbers, and special characters such as though we recommend more (the maximum is 255).
Make sure the password you’re prompted to create when you install VNC Server is difficult to guess, and keep it safe. If you have a Home subscription, there’s only one VNC Server authentication scheme.

Any VNC client can be used but an SSH tunnel to the login nodes is required so we recommend VNC clients here that have that functionality built-in. To connect to a desktop session for using Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications on Rosalind a VNC client is required.
