wmks-console vm URL for webclient to use as direct link to VM's WebClient

[ezJurgen]

Hi, We are making a custom provisioning portal for our vcloud partners and we are trying to figure out how to make a button for each VM that would open the webclient

the url that is displayed when you open the webclient through the vCD portal is something like this

https://my.vcddomain.be/tenant/tenantname/wmks-console/index.html?vmId=vm-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx

but when we use that url we get an error in the browser:

wmks.no.parent.no.vm.id.error

Is there any way to make a url that would open the webclient?

Hi,

you cannot directly use the vCD URL to launch a VM console, instead you should integrate the WebMKS SDK into your portal.

For reference: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/html-console-sdk-programming-guide/GUID-E5495E81-DAF4-4BEE-B66A-D3DD94B07596.html

Please also check compatibility between SDK and vCD.
