In windows TurboVNC v3.0.2 there are setting for secur connections using certificates.

I have tried every combination of settings with PEM and PPK files (with Pub/Private and public only keys).

Can some point me to documentation on these options?  Internet searches turn up nada.

Thanks,

The X.509 private key and certificate need to be configured on the server end. They can be specified using the -x509cert and -x509key options to vncserver or the equivalent turbovncserver.conf variables. If unspecified, vncserver will try to use ~/.vnc/x509_cert.pem and ~/.vnc/x509_key.pem, if they exist. The X.509 CA cert and CRL in the TurboVNC Viewer are only necessary if you self-signed your certificate or used a certificate authority whose root certificate is unknown to Java. Even then, I have never found that I needed to specify the CRL with self-signed certificates— just the CA cert.
