Embedding vSphere MKS remote console in webpage

Hello,

I am looking to see if anyone knows how to embed the vSphere MKS in a webpage.

I have tons of information on doing this in VC2.5 but everything in vSphere has changed.

Thanks in advanced.

Here is a script you can use to generate the VM remote URLs:

You can easily just embed the list in a simple html and post it on intranet/etc.

Thanks for the help but I don't want end users accessing the VC.

I have build a complete management site for people to deploy, destory, rebuild and give access to their defined usere to servers.

The last part is making the console work in the site, not external.

Steve,

Thanks, I will try out your option 2 as this seems to be what I need.

Then I would recommend either #2 or #3 as Steve mentioned in his blog.

There was also a similar question in another forum and the user decided to use VNC and add the appropriate .vmx entries to the VM to allow VNC connections, you can take a look at the thread here:
