No cert issues, but we have valid certificates for out vcenter server, and
I am opening a whole new window not a foreman window with an embedded page.
Here is the code snippet I am using. I don't think that I have access to
the VCenter Server GUID, or it's certificate SHA1 thumbprint. Since I am
feeding the url and invalid session ticket, it just sees it as an expired
connection and prompts for password unless you happen to have an open
session to vcenter in your browser, then it sails right on through.

< link_to_if_authorized(_("Console"),
hash_for_console_host_path().merge(:auth_object => host, :permission =>
'console_hosts'),
< { :class => "btn btn-info" })
