RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
VNC session requires administrator login to create a color managed device

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-minimal-1.3.1-3.el7.x86_64
tigervnc-1.3.1-3.el7.x86_64
tigervnc-server-1.3.1-3.el7.x86_64
colord-1.2.7-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a vnc session by following stesp from https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-TigerVNC.html
2. Login from vnc client


Actual results:
At first login GNOME will request for authentication as Administrator (See attached screenshot vnc-color.png)

Expected results:
GNOME should not request for authentication as Administrator

Additional info:
Upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751775

So if I get it correctly colord should rather not start instead of asking for additional permission (password prompt) with remote connections like VNC.

Richard, do we have an agreed-on plan for fixing this now ?

* Tue May 17 2016 Richard Hughes <rhughes> - 3.14.4-11
- Ignore fake VNC devices, they can't be color managed anyway.
Resolves: #1300937

Verified on gnome-settings-daemon-3.14.4-12.el7. No admin prompt for color management.
