Mike Beynon updated GUACAMOLE-1641:
-----------------------------------
Description:
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?
