[Users] novnc console button/ticket via REST-API?
Hi, we are quite impressed of the novnc console option to get access to the vms. however, we want to implement our own userportal. So is it possible to create the novnc ticket / open a vnc session with the vm event via REST-API? If yes how? If not, how could this be achieved? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH Co.

To get the ticket for the VNC display you need to do the following: curl \ -k \ -X POST \ -H Accept: application/xml \ -H Content-Type: application/xml \ -d action/ \ -u admin@internal:** \ https://whatever/api/vms/your_vm_id/ticket That will return something like this: action ticket valueIKWW7PpFZhjP/value expiry7200/expiry /ticket vm href=... id=... ... /vm status statecomplete/state /status /action The ticket.value is the password for the VNC display. To connect to the display you will need also to get the host and port number from the VM details: curl \ -k \ -H Accept: application/xml \ -u admin@internal:** \ https://whatever/api/vms/your_vm_id This will return the following: vm href=... id=... ... display typevnc/type address192.168.122.20/address port5900/port ... /display ... /vm The the ticket.value, vm.display.address and vm.display.port you can complete the VNC connection. -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.

Re: [Users] novnc console button/ticket via REST-API?
No, I think I didn't explain it good enough. the link in webadmin is created via the novnc program, right? (basically just html+js) currently it resides directly on the host where ovirt-engine is installed. we want to move this to a different host, but how? I mean, I got the ticket, I got the websocket proxy, I got the host we need to connect to and ports and all, but how to put those pieces together? Maybe I just miss something very basic and simple?
