We have two vnc client user 1:chris and 2:kurdt. we need to open the port in iptables
chris port
iptables -A custom-fw-input -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5901 -j ACCEPT
kurdt port
or you can use port range in iptablesiptables -A custom-fw-input -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 5902 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5901:5902 -j ACCEPT
Configure the environment and password by login to the user account.

[chris@rhel01 ~]$ vncserver
