setup VNC session for windows domain account

[appma...@gmail.com]

Hello, VNC user friends

I ran into this issue and just wondering if anyone can help me out.

I used winbind to integrate my centos 6.5 machine to our WIN active directory.

By doing so, I am able to use windows ad account to log into my linux box.

Right now, I am also able to ssh into the linux box with my win ad account.

However when I tried to setup the VNC session for my windows ad account, it failed.

Please see error message below

[Domain\XXX@CRI-13-64 ~]$ sudo service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 2:Domain\XXX -bash: line 0: cd: ~DomainXXX: No such file or directory
[FAILED]


I think the problem can be fixed by tweak the script that vncserver is using. But I am not sure where and how.

I am able to modify the /etc/sysconfig/vncserver config file to make it take my domain account. Please see below:


VNCSERVERS="2:Domain\\XXX"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768"


I think I just need to do the same thing to the script that vncserver is using.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

Best,

[Pierre Ossman]

Try changing:

runuser -l ${USER} -c \
"cd ~${USER} && vncserver :${DISP} ${VNCUSERARGS}"

to

runuser -l ${USER} -c \
"cd ~ && vncserver :${DISP} ${VNCUSERARGS}"
