@VIKI97000 what are the settings in global.properties and responses.properties.

Have you read this doc in relation to 

clear-console-proxy-settings

my response.properties does not have user.consoleproxy.* fields but I am on 10.4.1 where legacy console is not an option.

Have you reviewed KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78885 and ensure necessary certs are trusted by VCD?

@tonyanshe VC certificates are already trusted

I wonder if you are facing the issue described here 

VCD did not seem to either have or accept the ESXi certificates on which the VM’s reside. Investigating this with GSS reveiled that the command described in the KB and that we executed during the change does not accept self-signed ESXi host certificates automatically. So in other words, you would either have to manually upload all of the ESXi host certificates, or manually upload the VMCA certificate

 

The fact your console-proxy.log is empty is quite strange. No harm in trying to import the ESXi cert manually as explained in the resolution of the blog post which is option 3 on the KB.

I had the similar issue,

 - Manually exported the VC cert
 - Imported to VCD

This resolved the issue in my case. Hope it helps.

Thank You
