Adding a VNC Zero Trust application

    • Protocol: VNC
    • Icon: Use default or choose an icon of your own choice.
    • Host: Enter the internal IP address of the server to which you'd like to connect.
    • Port: 5900
    • Network: Choose the network that contains the gateway from which you created a tunnel to the environment that hosts the server you'd like to connect to.
    • Max number of connections: 1
    • Display Application Icon at Login Screen: Default: No
    • Enable copy-paste from VNC to clipboard. Default: Yes
    • URL Alias (Optional): See Advanced Setting Guide.

    • Authentication: The password predefined in your VNC.
    • Access Groups: State the names of the user group who'll have access to the VNC application.
    • Policy: Leave blank, or choose a policy that was previously created and matches your needs.
