I didn’t get how will you use that info to connect?
There are three connections involved in showing console to user.
ms ——authenticate—> CPVM ——for VNC console—>Hypervisor
^
| gets images from CPVM
web browser
Which of the above components you want to keep and which to remove?
Also you can look into other implementations of Console proxy which are rarely
used to get more info.
