Publishing Desktops: Thinfinity VNC Access Profile

Thinfinity VNC 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.

To create a Thinfinity VNC Access Profile and publish your remote desktop (Windows, macOS, or Linux) follow these steps:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

Select + New Profile in the dashboard or home page. Alternatively, select + Add from the Access Profiles tab of the Web Manager.

Reference

The ability to see the New Profile button on the home page or the Access Profiles tab within the Web Manager depends on the specific rights assigned to a user by the admin. Additionally, the global UI settings for the current Thinfinity Workspace installation may also influence access.

For details, see Permissions Tab and UI Settings.

Configure the Access Profile

The wizard guides you through the essential settings required for the connection to the target resource. Thinfinity Workspace automatically assigns default values for the remaining parameters.

To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the Access Profile. Depending on how the home page is configured and the rights granted to each user, the Edit option which grants access to the Settings menu might be available:

  • in the home page, from the three vertical dots button of the Access Profile tile as shown below.

or

  • in the Access Profiles tab in the Web Manager, as shown below.
