Cannot connect using VNC

We have Guacamole 1.2.0 installed.  We configured a RHEL 7 server using tigervnc server 1.8.0 and have it running/listening on port 5901.  We configured the software firewall to allow 5901 through, but when we configure and run the connection within Guacamole, it fails and we see the following in /var/log/messages:

There are other VNC connections on this Guacamole installation connecting to some Solaris servers and those work fine.  Any ideas on how to fix this?  We have some users that really need to get in via VNC and this is holding them up.

Thanks,
Harry
