It doesn't work the same as PCanywhere that I am aware of. You don't quite
have the ability to lockout each user, however, you could assign each user a
password that is specific to their machine only. Each VNC server allows you
to assign a different password. Then just let that user know the password
and be sure that they don't give it away to someone else in the
organization.
I use RealVNC and it is working fine for my purposes.

What I am concerned about is that I would rather make sure I can specify by
user who has logon privileges. I am not familiar with the app. But I
remember from PCAnywhere that you can set logon privileges by even using
domain authentication. Is something similar possible with VNC at all?

The security will be provided by the VPN security you set up.
After that, the person has to know the computer name or IP address of the
computer and the VNC password and then the network user name and password to
log in to the computer.
Seems to me that as long as you allow a VPN into the network, you are not
exposing much more risk.
It seems like the same security risk as allowing a VPN to the network and
then a Terminal Server session.

Some folks here want to use VNC for remote access to their machines (after
connecting to the network via VPN). I am concerned about security. And as I
am not that familiar with VNC - can it be locked down and controlled from an
administrative point of view?
Which version would be preferred from a security standpoint? As an example -
I see TightVNC and VNC.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
