How to Generate VM Remote Console URL for vSphere 5.x Web Client

10.11.2011 by William Lam // 67 Comments

There was a question last week on the VMTN community forums about generating a shortcut URL to a virtual machine's remote console in the new vSphere 5 Web Client. For those of you who have used the vCenter's Web Access may recall the option to generate a desktop shortcut to a particular virtual machine's remote console which includes ability to obfuscate the generated URL that could then be provided to your users.

With the updated vSphere 5 Web Client, there is not an option to generate the remote console URL but there is a link that you could manually copy and provide to your users. This of course is not ideal but after a tinkering, I was able to figure out how to generate the remote console URL for any virtual machine in the new vSphere 5.x Web Client.

I also created a vSphere SDK for Perl script awhile back called generateVMRemoteConsoleURL.pl which helps users automate the URL generation for vSphere 4.x environments, it has now been updated to support vSphere 5.

Here is an example of what the URL looks like for vSphere 5.0:

https://reflex.primp-industries.com:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=EE26E7F6-591B-4256-BD7A-402E5AC9E0A8:VirtualMachine:vm-1506

Here is an example of what the URL looks like for vSphere 5.1 & 5.5:

https://reflex.primp-industries.com:9443/vsphere-clien/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:vm-1506:EE26E7F6-591B-4256-BD7A-402E5AC9E0A8

There are basicallythree important components to the URL:

  • Hostname of the vCenter Server - reflex.primp-industries.com
  • The vCenter instanceUUID which used to uniquely identify a vCenter Server - EE26E7F6-591B-4256-BD7A-402E5AC9E0A8
  • The MoRef ID of the virtual machine - vm-1506

Since the Web Client does not support URL customization, you only need to provide the name of a virtual machine to the generateVMRemoteConsoleURL.pl script and the URL will be generated for you.

Here is an example execution of the script:

Now you can take the URL output from the script and enter it into a supported web browser. You will then be asked to authenticate before it allows you to access the remote console of a particular virtual machine.

You can now provide links to specific virtual machines

    Hi William, thanks for that. Do you know how these URLs can be pre-authenticated or how user credentials can be passed as parameters to the URLs (so that we can integrate single sign on with external systems)?

    @Ashley,

    I took a quick look but haven't been able to find a way. Using firebut, I noticed the following URL - https://reflex.primp-industries.com:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/ticket.jsp?nonce=25e206b6-ef45-49e3-a5a0-84d9f2fc8117&_=1318485964250

    where 25e206b6-ef45-49e3-a5a0-84d9f2fc8117 is the mks ticket acquired for a particular VM and 1318485964250 is some type of counter

    You may want to file an SR to VMware to see if it's possible to per-authenticate using mks ticket

    I spoke with engineering and it looks like it is not possible today to pre-auth VMRC. I've provided your feedback and this is something they can look into.

    @William, thanks a lot for that. Our developers have been able to get around the issue by programatically creating a clone session and using this clone session (with some trickery) to generate an Ajax call to the console page. From the POC code I've seen, it should be OK for now until this functionality is officially supported. It gives us the benefit of stopping the users navigating off the console web page, and allowing us to integrate our single signon technologies (using a proxied vCentre logon for console access).

    @Jason,

    No I'm afraid not. A VM display name is not always unique & standardizing on something such as a MoRef ID guarantees uniqueness + readability.

    I'm not aware of any since it's separate service but you can always perform an HTTP query to https://[vc-hostname]:9443/vsphere-client and if it responds, then it's running the vSphere Web Client.

      The below shorcut works to provide the old console like from 4.x for me on 5. This should give you local resource access.

      "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\VMware VMRC Plug-in\Internet Explorer\vmware-vmrc.exe" -h vsphere5:443 -M vm-400

      BryanMcC, on a clean install without a previous version of the older Web client with vmware-vmrc.exe, how would you do it? Is there somewhere you are downloading a V5 verison of that plug-in? I did test it on an older 32-bit machine I've been using with versions of VMware ESX as far back as 2.5 and it works there, but not on a clean x64 Windows machine that has never downloaded the old plugin... any thoughts?

    Hi William,

    Thanks for the script! Looks like vmware changed the order in the URL again for 5.1, so I modified your script and below seems to work:

    (...)
    if($vcVersion eq "5.1.0") {
    my $vcInstanceUUID = Vim::get_service_content()->about->instanceUuid;
    my $vmMoRef = $vm_view->{'mo_ref'}->{'value'};
    $remoteURL = "https://$vc_name:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:$vmMoRef:$vcInstanceUUID";
    }
    elsif($vcVersion eq "5.0.0") {
    (...)

    Great news with PowerCLI 5.5 though (http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2013/09/powercli-5-5-whats-newoverview.html), looks like this will be builtin in PowerCLI:
    "Open a console for vSphere/vCloud VM
    Open multiple consoles at once
    Output the URL to open VM Consoles"

I have the vcenter server installed offsite and I access it with IE10 win7 browser, I can open Vcenter Server, can do most of the management tasks but I can not open the Console of the virtual machine.

    Hey William,

    First, I'd like to thank you for your hard work, we're using many of your scripts in XtremIO and it has really increased our efficiency!

    I'm trying to create an HTTP CGI form to open a console directly to the machine.

    I'm trying to use either generateVMRemoteConsoleURL.pl script and I get 'null' error.
    I also tried to use generateVMHTML5Console.pl but since it has 60 seconds sleep and then Util:disconnect(), the session is ended and I can't pass it to my CGI form.
    I tried remove the Util:disconnect but apparently it doesn't work.

    We're running vCenter 5.5.0 build 1750787.

    If you have any advise it'd be awesome!

    Thank you so much!

      Hi Eran,

      Great to hear these scripts have been useful for XtremIO, always great to hear feedback 🙂

      For your questions:

      1) How are you running the script? Sounds like you may not be passing in the right param
      2) The 60sec timer is just an example, you can always tweak the script. Removing the disconnect is not what you want, else you'll leave stale sessions. The idea here is that you need to persist the API connection prior to running the HTML5 URL, else the session will not be valid.

        Hey,

        Thanks for the quick response!

        For the first script:
        I'm running generateVMRemoteConsoleURL with the following params:
        ./generateVMRemoteConsoleURL.pl --server example.org --vmname vm1 --username eran --password xxx

        I'm getting the following link:
        https://example.org:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:vm-34299:F7355912-7E10-457F-A855-164B7284C3F7

        I copy/paste it to the browser and it says: 'null'.

        I left generateVMRemoteConsole and tried to use VMHTML5Console instead:
        So basically I created a web HTML form that passes the variables to the generateVMHTML5Console.pl file and then it redirects the generated URL to the browser.
        Everything looks fine but since it has Util:disconnect, the URL is no longer valid.
        I'm not sure how you'd use it in a HTML form if it has disconnect in it. I don't really understand how to make a connection prior to the URL generate, and then disconnect it..

        I hope you can assist!

        Thanks once again!

          Hi, Thanks a lot. I like the script and finally was able to make it work after installing a VCli etc. on a VM.

          I am also fighting with the "null" error. I am running on the same version as Eran.

          Not sure if that helps to find a solution: The link works if you paste it into another tab of a browser in which you are already logged into the vcenter WebClient. But obviously that is what I want to avoid to simplify things for the users. Note that my users are local vcenter users and not Active directory users.

          Does it have to do with the authentication? How should it look like in the first place when you paste the link into an unauthenticated browser tab? Would we get the vcenter user password prompt?

          Kindly advise how we could solve this issue.

          Thanks

    Hey @rv, Bei,

    I just wanna mention that I faced the same issue before and the workaround I used is just after generating the URL I open another connection to the database, for example: Util::connect($vm_serverUrl, $username, $password);
    Then, a command after it I just close the session: Util::disconnect();
    I also removed the 60 seconds wait because I wanted it to be a CGI web page.
    I had no issues so far. Haven't seen any stale connections to the database.

    In any case, it works pretty well for me.

    Bascially, the script is not only generating a console web page, but it also allows you to power on, off and reboot a VM from a HTML form I created.

    Hey,

    I see this is no longer supported with vCenter 6:
    404 - Page not found

    The following page could not be found:

    /console/
    Please contact your network administrator for help.

    Any idea what's the new redirect URL?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the script, I was able to generate the URL but when I copy the URL and open it in a browser I get "The console has been disconnected. Close this window and re-launch the console to reconnect." message. Is there anything I am doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Fairly old thread. Can https links be created for vSphere Client version 7.0.3? If so, how? Thanks in advance

        Thank you for the reply.

        When I request /vsphere-client/ the response is

        This vCenter Server is not currently registered with a vSphere Web Client. Please use vSphere Client Administration Tool (https://localhost:{port-number}/admin-app) on the machine running vSphere Web Client to register this vCenter Server.

        My account doesn't have admin role to the Administration Tool. I guess I need to contact an admin to enable this? Which is what is confusing because when I initiate a login, I have to choose/click the vSphere Client button to reach a login form.
