Hi,
we are quite impressed of the novnc console option to get access to the vms.
however, we want to implement our own userportal. So is it possible to create the novnc ticket / open a vnc session with the vm event via REST-API?
If yes how?
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
Thanks, michal
If not, how could this be achieved?
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. -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
