I have setup vnc server and access it using noVnc, works really good.

On every successful login I want to do the following:

  1. Open up google-chrome - This can be done by adding chrome to startup applications.
  2. Open a different URL everytime, so this has to be passed from my browser during login. On every login open up it up on chrome.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't know much about VNC but you should be able to configure a script to run at startup if you can configure a program to run, say a .bat or .sh file.

Within this file you have a few ways of launching Chrome with a specific URL:

1. Shortcut files, and choosing one randomly.

You could have many in a folder, and your startup script chooses one at random.

╔══════════╦════════════════╦═════════════════════════════════╗
║ Protocol ║ Target         ║ Result                          ║
╠══════════╬════════════════╬═════════════════════════════════╣
║ HTTP     ║ www.google.com ║ googlechrome://www.google.com/  ║
║ HTTPS    ║ www.google.com ║ googlechromes://www.google.com/ ║
╚══════════╩════════════════╩═════════════════════════════════╝

2. Launching Chrome directly with a random URL.

Make a script to pass the following, you can specify incognito by using the -incognito flag.

chrome.exe https://google.com
