I have built a web application which relies on PowerCLI .NET API (VMware.VimAutomation).
I have a feature which allows my users to connect to various virtual machines in the system.
I use the following code to get a session ticket and server GUID
ManagedObjectReference mor = _vimClient.ServiceContent.SessionManager;
SessionManager session = (SessionManager)_vimClient.GetView(mor, null);
sessionTicket = session.AcquireCloneTicket(); // used to get a session ticket
serverGUID = _vimClient.ServiceContent.About.InstanceUuid; // used to get serverGUID
Then I construct the url such as the following
https://vcenter.ssilab.local:9443/vsphere-client/webconsole.html?vmId=vm-4377&vmName=MY_Machine_Name...
Before the VM is opened, I am directed to vSphere single sign on page. After inputting my credentials, I see the error message:
The console has been disconnected. Close this window and re-launch the console to reconnect.
The only workaround I can find is to first login to vSphere from my web browser. And then run my custom web application. This obviously is not an acceptable approach for my customer.
I am using vSphere version 6.7
If any advice how to solve this problem, please let me know
