Actions are not visible for items

Hi, I am using vrealize 6.2, where I created a Linux blueprint and enabled all the actions to connect through SSH and Console but am unable to view the actions after machine got deployed. Tried adding in Entitled actions and Machine operations in Blueprints

Add the custom property Machine.SSH to the blueprint with the value true

Thanks, all these actions are avilable directly why we need to add in blueprint again?? what about the console access??

[willonit]

VMRC is disabled in vRA6.2 because of a security issue. See VMSA-2014-0013

Why did VMware disable the VMRC connection in vRA6.2? Just because of  remote privilege escalation?

[rajuroks]

So whats the alternative if machine owner wants to access from console to administrate?

[willonit]

Unfortunately there is no good way. If you have you're heart set on 6.2 you would have to give them access to vCenter. You can also run 6.0 or 6.1 without the vulnerability patch and the action to connect using VMRC can still be used.

Lol,  is there ETA they are going to fix this vulnerability? and enable the VMRC?

We're expecting it in Q1, so not too far away.
