Stephen Young commented on GUACAMOLE-1641:
------------------------------------------
[~mbeynon] This sounds very interesting. Has work on this been stalled, or is
progress still being made? With ESXi 6.7 being EOL last October, this is a
desirable feature for those of us connecting to VMs using the bundeled VNC
server. Not sure I can be of any use, but if I can, I'm happy to help.
> Add vSphere support to VNC protocol
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-1641
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1641
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: guacamole
> Reporter: Mike Beynon
> Priority: Minor
>
> vSphere bundles a VNC server into their ESXi hypervisor, and tunnels the VNC
> protocol over a web socket to their client. I'm working now to add support
> to guacd to (1) take a vm object id name, (2) use the vSphere API to
> establish a session with vCenter and request a webmks ticket, and (3) have
> guacd connect to the appropriate ESXi server and port to setup the websocket
> and then pass binary frames containing the VNC protocol. The new parameters
> for the guacd protocol will mean there's changes to guacamole-client also for
> the webapp and the db storage for connection parameters.
> I plan to do this on the open source version.
> It's related to GUACAMOLE-591, except it will not show the entire VM catalog.
> Instead my changes will provide the mechanism in guacd, and later work can
> add the catalog.
> Any suggestions how to proceed? Things to do or things to avoid doing?
> Should I start with the latest apache or glyptodon source?
