These two instances of apache2 serve multiple wikis and web sites. They are located in the Computer Science Department of Vassar College. As a result, they all get the same site certificate. In some cases that works just fine. But in some cases your browser will complain about not being sure if it should trust the certificate or not being able to verify the certificate. text/html 2013-02-28T21:20:41+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) kiosk https://www.cs.vassar.edu/old_pages/nodir/kiosk?rev=1362086441&do=diff <html><script type=“text/javascript”><![CDATA[><!]]></script></html> <html><style type=“text/css”>#clock {font-family: 'Lucida Sans Console', sans-serif; font-size: 30px; white-space: nowrap; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;}</style></html>```` text/html 2012-12-01T17:30:48+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) 2012_workstations https://www.cs.vassar.edu/old_pages/status/2012_workstations?rev=1354383048&do=diff 2012 Workstation Upgrades [LightDM screenshot ]Welcome back.

You will, however, need to download two programs: a SSH client and a VNC client. The SSH client will make a secure connection between your computer and the VNC server and the VNC client will use this connection to draw a display on your screen.
