If you hit the /client/console endpoint with a vmid, it sends you back some data that contains a link to a the console proxy VM and passes an encrypted json payload that has the user, password and port for a vnc connection. Normally this is meant to load in an iframe. We want to decrypt this response to direct a VNC client to the appropriate host / port / user / pass and bypass use of the console proxy VM. The key and iv appear to be stored in the configuration table under the names security.encryption.key and security.encryption.iv, but as they are hidden we cannot get these credentials via the listConfigurations endpoint as-is. So my question is:
What would be the most appropriate way to open up the possibility of showing “hidden” configuration items via this API to our middleware? Some sort of entry in a config file somewhere? An entry in the configuration table itself? Or is there some other way to get this information I’m looking for? Thanks in advance. Nathan
