Not showing the login page for remote console #45

Hi,

I want to use this gateway for Hyper-V VMs remote console, for this I don't want to show the login page but still want to make gateway call to get the remote console. Is it possible to avoid the login page and pass all params in http request to gateway and display the console?

Regards, Umesh

Hi @umeshbhatt25, there's currently a feature for this scenario specific for OpenStack that involves passing a token generated by Nova.

We're thinking about extending this to a more generic scenario. The reason why a token is needed is that you typically don't want to give your host credentials to your VM user :-)

Based on the interest on this topic, this can lead to a full open source web management console for Hyper-V.

Hi,

Yes you are correct that we don't want to share Host credentials with the end user for remote console. Can I pass some http request to wsgate server for remote console? If you can tell me files which I can refer for understanding this implementation?
