Web Browser w/ VNC acccess

[beengone]

My goal is to fire up the R.Pi and have it boot to Chromium with a single extension (Auto Refresh) in full screen. The html file is housed on a Windows share, so I'll need to map that share (working). I also need it to have remote access via VNC (UltraVNC/TightVNC, not RealVNC.) On reboot, all this needs to automatically just work again. I'd need to be able to reconfigure which HTML file it loads remotely by VNC once in a blue moon.

I've done a fair bit of research and testing and so far I've had the best luck with

Raspian Desktop (played with lite a little, but had trouble figuring out all I needed to get Chromium to launch, etc.)
cifs-utils - mount Windows share
X11VNC (couldn't get tightvncserver working correctly, happy to troubleshoot if it's better)
I'm no expert, but I'm fine with using the CLI as long as I can figure out syntax. For instance, I didn't yet get X11vnc to launch at boot, but will figure that and Chromium out.

The short of it is, "Am I on the right track?" Is the full Raspian desktop the way to go? Is X11vnc what I should be using? ANy pointers for configuring VNC to auto-start, expect a password I'll save in the config, and allow a session to boot another should a second attach

Did I post this in the wrong place?

Most people use built-in (real) vncserver to remote into their Pi nowadays so that's probably explains lack of response.

JFI Why do you not want to use it?

1. We use another VNC already and RealVNC isn't compatible / our viewer doesn't work with it.
2. RealVNC says it's not licensed for commercial use.

RealVNC can be licensed for the right fee.

Did you try using TeamViewer? This may be a good choice instead of the VNC.

Whoa, I must have missed alerts saying there were new posts. For our corporation, I do not have any ability to use another tool. I have to use Ultra VNC Viewer, so I need a server that works with that. I posted on the uVNC forums too to see if they know how. I thought I could install TightVNC server and configure it, but I can't figure out how to get it working as I need.

Why use a webbrowser for VNC? Seems like a security risk... is your viewer compatible with tigervnc (open source)? Run tiger would be my advice... I don't know of any google product I would trust with my privacy :p

We don't use a browser to view it. We use uVNC viewer.
