VNC public resources render a full VNC client in the browser. Users visit a FQDN, complete Pangolin authentication, and get an interactive remote display session without installing a VNC viewer.

​
How It Works

  1. You assign a FQDN on a domain managed in Pangolin.
  2. The user completes authentication and access rules in the browser.
  3. Pangolin renders the VNC session and proxies traffic to the VNC server through a site connector.
No Pangolin client is required.

​
Site and Host Configuration

VNC public resources do not use targets. Instead, you:
  1. Select which sites can route to the resource.
  2. Enter the backend VNC server host and port (commonly 5900 or 5900 + display number).
Pangolin routes through the site that is online and healthiest, using the same intelligent multi-site routing model as private resources.

​
Authentication and Access Rules

VNC public resources are protocol-aware and support the full set of Pangolin authentication and access rules, including platform SSO, identity providers, user/role assignments, and context-based allow/deny rules. You can share these settings across resources with a resource policy. VNC session credentials (if configured on the VNC server) are entered in the browser-rendered client after Pangolin authentication succeeds.
