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:
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.
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.
Select an Access Profile Type
Select Desktop and select Next.

Choose the Desktop Connection Type
Select the Thinfinity VNC desktop connection, then select Next.

Set Up the Connection
Specify the Remote ID of the remote desktop you want to publish.

Set the Access Profile Credentials
Enter a password for the connection, then select Next.

Set Permissions
When Allow Anonymous Access is enabled in the installation, it is pre-selected in the Permissions step of the wizard. Simply click Next to continue.
To limit access to specific users or groups, uncheck Allow Anonymous Access and click Add to choose who can access the new Access Profile.

For details on how to enable/disable anonymous access and configure access permissions, see Global Access Profiles Parameters, Access Control Settings and Labels.
Find users and groups link will only be available when working with Directory Services.
Set the Access Profile Name
Enter a descriptive name for the new Access Profile, then select Done to publish your desktop connection.

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.

For details on how to customize the user interface, see UI Settings.
For details on the parameters available in the Access Profile Settings menu, see Thinfinity VNC Core Settings.
Apply the Changes
Select Apply to implement the configured connection parameters.
- If you are defining only one profile, you can use Apply right after configuring all the desired parameters.
- If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Apply after you have everything in place.
