unable to connect to linux server though tight VNC server

Tushar LapaniOct 21 2013 — edited Oct 22 2013

Hi!

I have configured VNC server 4.1 for my Linux Red hat server. VNC server is working on port 5903 and user "oracle" is allowed to connect (It means he is vncuser). while i try to connect to server using VNC it prompts to enter password. It means server is reachable. But When I enter correct password it returns Authentication Failed even though password is 100% . To confirm password I changed it using "vncpasswd" command and then I restart the vnc service by $ service vncserver start command. The service started successfully but couldn't access the server through VNC.

I checked in /etc/sysconfig/iptables and it contains entry as

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

So what anything else i m missing ? What should I do ?

Thanks & Regards

Tushar
