  • 1.  vCenter Remote Console does not ask for login

    Posted Feb 20, 2014 11:20 AM

    Hello VMWare-Community,

    in previous versions of the vCenter Webclient it asked for the user authentication, if the user isn't currently logged in. In the latest version, there only pops up a window with the message "null".

    Old Version (vCenter 5.1):

    1. Open link in web browser: https://reflex.primp-industries.com:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:vm-1506:EE26E7F6-591B-4256-BD7A-402E5AC9E0A8

    2. Prompt for user and password

    3. Usage of the virtual machine :-)

    New Version (vCenter 5.5):

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

    2. Receive message "null", if not previously logged in vCenter. :-(

    I'd like to restore the old behavior. Alternately an anonymous login would be okay, too. (So, that no authentication is required to use the virtual machine behind the link).

    Any ideas?

    Best Regards,

    Daniel
