Creating a VNC password file

To install and run Native Abstract Windowing Toolkit (NAWT), you need to create a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server password file. The VNC server default setting requires a password file that it uses to protect the VNC display against unauthorized user access. You must create the VNC password file under the profile that starts the VNC server.

How you create an encrypted password depends on which version of the PRPQ you are using:

For versions of the PRPQ ordered on or after 14 June 2002, use the following commands at the iSeries™ command prompt:
```
     MKDIR DIR('/home/VNCprofile/.vnc')
     QAPTL/VNCPASSWD USEHOME(*NO) PWDFILE('/home/VNCprofile/.vnc/passwd')
```
where VNCprofile is the profile that started the VNC server.
For versions of the PRPQ ordered before 14 June 2002, use the following commands at the iSeries command prompt:
```
     MKDIR DIR('/home/VNCprofile/.vnc')
     VNCSAVF/VNCPASSWD USEHOME(*NO) PWDFILE('/home/VNCprofile/.vnc/passwd')
```
where VNCprofile is the profile that started the VNC server.

Notes:

When using NAWT with any version of J2SDK

Only the profile that starts the VNC server needs to have a VNC password file.
To successfully start the VNC server, you must have a password file.

When using NAWT with J2SDK, version 1.4 or a subsequent version

To gain interactive access to VNC server by using a VNCviewer or Web browser, users must use the password that you specify in this step.
