Login Using VNC

Scenarios

This section describes how to use VNC provided on the management console to log in to an ECS.

Prerequisites

If an ECS uses key pair authentication, make sure that the key file has been used to resolve the login password before logging in to the ECS. For details, see Obtaining the Password for Logging In to a Windows ECS.
