How to Create a New Thinfinity VNC Connection Using the Web Manager

Product: Thinfinity Workspace
Version: 7 and above


Thinfinity VNC or ThinVNC is a proprietary screen-sharing protocol offering faster and more secure remote access than traditional VNC solutions. Optimized for web-based access, it allows users to connect to Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops or specific applications using only an HTML5-enabled browser—no need for plugins, add-ons, or client applications. 

InfoFor a Thinfinity VNC connection to work, the remote host must have a Thinfinity® VNC Server installed and running. To download Thinfinity® VNC Server, visit the Cybele Product Download page.

In order to create a ThinVNC connection you need to install Thinfinity® VNC Server on the remote machine.

To create a ThinVNC connection follow the steps:

1. Step 1. Install

2. Open an HTML5 capable browser, navigate to the Workspace Portal and click Sign In.




2.  In the Thinfinity Credentials screen enter your Username and Password, and then click Sign In.



3. In Thinfinity Workspace home page click on +New Profile.



4. In the first step of the wizard select Desktop and click Next.



5.  In the next step of the wizard, select Thinfinity VNC and click Next.


Now, access the Thinfinity VNC Configuration on the remote host where the Thinfinity VNC server is installed and go to the Gateway Access tab. Once there, take note of the Remote ID to be used in the profile configuration. Also make sure the Network ID is the same as the one in Workspace. When finished, click Close.

  • Back to the browser, you will need to use the Remote ID just obtained from the Thinfinity VNC Server. Enter it in the appropriate fields. After that, click Next.

  • Now, you need the credentials to connect to the remote host. This password must match the one set in the Thinfinity VNC server running on the remote host. Enter the Password and click Next.

  • Type a Name for the profile and then click Done.

  • Finally, click Commit to save the changes to the profile.
You can create more profiles and commit all the changes at once when done.


Making additional configurations to the profile (optional)

  • If you want to make changes to the profile configuration, click on the more button on top of the connection icon, and then click Edit.

  • Here you can perform advanced configurations. If you make any change, click on Save and Commit the change.


Testing the VNC connection

  • Once the profile is configured, click the Connection Icon to establish a connection to the remote host.

  • You are now ready to access the remote host using Thinfinity VNC.
