Connect to a Remote Visualization Session

To connect to a remote visualization session, run DCV Endstation or alternative VNC client software. On TCBG workstations, use the following command to launch DCV Endstation:

$ dcvviewer

Connect to the server hosting your remote visualization session with your TCBG username/password, or username: guest/no password. If you receive a warning regarding a change in the VNC server signature, simply click Yes to accept.

Once connected, choose Full screen mode on the VNC toolbar for an optimal viewing experience, mimicking a true "desktop" interface.

The session owner must approve guest connections by clicking Accept in a pop-up notification that appears in the lower right corner of the visualization window. Guest access is restricted to view-only unless special permission to grant interactive is configured ahead of time (contact TCBG sysadmin).
