We have an inside and outside set of networks.
Our xen servers have an interface on both networks and the xen admin side is on the inside network.
The clients are on the outside networks.
Our cloudmin admin system has an interface on both networks.
so that for vnc access the couldmin server will have to proxy the vnc sessions somehow.
When I try to connect to the client virtual host I get a password error.
I have noticed a few things about this
1) there appears to be nothing listening on port 5900 and I would expect some proxy to be there.
2) in the actual cgi script output the password is set to '' or null.
Status:
Closed (fixed)

some more tracking has shown me that for some reason the VNC password is not getting passed. The port is getting setup correctly and if I manually vnc to the port before the proxy shuts down I can connect to the system. If I hardcode the password I can get access.

If you look at the .cfg file for the Xen instance under the /xen directory on the host system, what is the VNC password set to? It should match the system's original root password ..

The problem turns out to be a typo.
either the config file in /etc/webmin/servers is wrong or vnc.cgi is wrong. one is xen_vnc_pass the other is xen_vnc_passwd

Ok, thanks .. I see the bug that causes this. It will be fixed in the next Cloudmin release.
