You should use the same method as for a web server. E.g. using certbot:

https://certbot.eff.org/

Once you have a key and certificate you specify those when starting the
VNC server:

./vncserver -SecurityTypes=X509Vnc -X509Cert=myserver.cert
-X509Key=myserver.key

It should not be more complicated than that.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Hi
Thank you for answer.
But I want to save the path of the certificate files permanently to a configuration file.

Yes, it is also possible to put this configuration in one of:

/etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults
/etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-mandatory
$HOME/.vnc/config

See the man page for more info:

Hi
Thank you so much.

Hi
Unfortunately, this method did not work.
I created a key and a certificate(by openssl).
But, the securitytype option in the config file is not supported.
My os is redhat 6.8.

Are you using the TigerVNC that's included with Red Hat? If so, then
that is too old to do what you want. Please ask Red Hat to upgrade, or
use a later version from us.
