setting the ticket is a VM's action "ticket"
after that you can spawn your client and connect to the desired host/port you get from VM
display's address, secureport

To get the ticket for the VNC display you need to do the following:
curl \
-k \
-X POST \
-H "Accept: application/xml" \
-H "Content-Type: application/xml" \
-d "
<action/>
" \
-u admin@internal:****** \
https://whatever/api/vms/your_vm_id/ticket
That will return something like this:
<action>
<ticket>
<value>IKWW7PpFZhjP</value>
<expiry>7200</expiry>
</ticket>
<vm href="..." id="...">
...
</vm>
<status>
<state>complete</state>
</status>
</action>
The ticket.value is the password for the VNC display. To connect to the
display you will need also to get the host and port number from the VM
details:
curl \
-k \
-H "Accept: application/xml" \
-u admin@internal:****** \
https://whatever/api/vms/your_vm_id
This will return the following:
<vm href="..." id="...">
...
<display>
<type>vnc</type>
<address>192.168.122.20</address>
<port>5900</port>
...
</display>
...
</vm>
The the ticket.value, vm.display.address and vm.display.port you can
complete the VNC connection.
