vmware之VMware Remote Console (VMRC) SDK（一）

通过console可以实现类似远程桌面的功能，但它的实现方式和远程桌面不同，一般来说远程桌面必须要有网络支持，在机器关闭或者启动过程中无法连接。而console是通过esx的虚拟化组件实现远程桌面。在其sample代码中有一个用html+js编写ActiveX插件的示例。

下方是一个用winform写的console远程截图。

在vmware的developer center中https://developercenter.vmware.com/sdks，下载vmrc sdk，它会以com组件的形式安装，你可以在vs工具箱中找到。

下面上一段sample代码

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using Vim25Api;
using AppUtil;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public AppUtil.AppUtil util = null;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();   
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            String[] arguments = new string[] {
                "--url", "https://192.168.0.161/sdk", 
                "--username","root",
                "--password","P@ssw0rd", 
                "--disablesso", "true",
                "--ignorecert", "true"};
            try
            {
                this.axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.startup(2, VMwareRemoteConsoleTypeLib.VMRC_MessageMode.VMRC_DIALOG_MESSAGES, null);

                util = AppUtil.AppUtil.initialize("Connect", constructOptions(), arguments.ToArray());
                util.connect();

                ManagedObjectReference mor = util.getConnection().ServiceRef;
                ManagedObjectReference sessionMor = util._connection.Service.RetrieveServiceContent(mor).sessionManager;
                string ticket = util._connection.Service.AcquireCloneTicket(sessionMor);
                ManagedObjectReference vmMor = util.getServiceUtil().GetDecendentMoRef(null, "VirtualMachine", "test");

                axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.connect("192.168.0.161", null, true, ticket, null, null, vmMor.Value, null, null);
            }
            catch(Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
   
                this.axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.disconnect();
                util.disConnect();
            }
        }
        private static OptionSpec[] constructOptions()
        {
            OptionSpec[] useroptions = new OptionSpec[5];
            useroptions[0] = new OptionSpec("url", "String", 1, "ser url", null);
            useroptions[1] = new OptionSpec("username", "String", 1, "user name", null);
            useroptions[2] = new OptionSpec("password", "String", 1, "password", null);
            useroptions[3] = new OptionSpec("disablesso", "bool", 0, "disablesso", null);
            useroptions[4] = new OptionSpec("ignorecert", "bool", 1, "ignorecert", null);
            return useroptions;
        }

        private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            axVMwareEmbeddedRemoteConsole1.disconnect();
            util.disConnect();
        }
    }
}

在建立connect连接时，有几个重要的参数

url为https://主机ip/sdk，登录帐号也是主机esx的帐号。

disablesso表示禁用sso单点登录验证，这个要加上，因为在我们远程登录验证不会使用sso。

ignorecert这个参数也要加上，不然会证书验证导致The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

这些参数如何运作可以到vsphere sdk中的apputil项目下找到。
