Hi,
I'm trying to configure the auto-login to my vmware web console but with no success.
Is it possible ?

Hello,
Have you created an web browser session to connect on your vmware web console?
Maybe you can try to send the credential using a typing macro

this is not working, in version 6 vmware web client is very important, please find a solution...
Have you tried the embedded Chrome?
David Hervieux
yes, the macro is not working...
it is not a standard HTML form.
Hello,
Is there a public URL that you can provide us so that we can test it?
Best regards,

you do not use vmware ? if yes, ask your IT guy to give you the internal URL.
You understand that I cannot open the internal main management console to the internet...

Hi,
If we asked that it's because we don't have access to one. We do our best to help but it's not always easy. We understand that it's not always easy to open the access but sometime it's possible to get an access to a test machine.

Tried but no success to get approval...
Thank you for trying. I will check if we can setup a web console internally.

It would be great to have this work, I have spent way too much time over the years to get various VMware console versions work with RDM.
I might be able to give you access to my vSphere 6 lab. Just pm me with what kind af access and info you need.
Hello,
We have a partner that will grant us access to a lab. It may take a week of so. If you feel that providing us access on your end is the best option just PM me.
Best regards,

Hello,
First, thank you @Oletho for granting me access to your environment.
Second, sorry about the delay in providing my findings, new stuff was put on top of my pile.
So the page is protected by a self-signed certificate, if you want to use the "embedded" display mode, only our Chrome library will tolerate certificate errors, that is if you check the corresponding option in its settings.
As you can see in the HMTL structure of the login page below...
The form tag isnt present, this is not a major issue, mostly a Best practice. Our code should work around that.
We then see two input controls, with respective id's of username and password. That is perfect.
Then another input, with the id of submit, which calls a javascript.
Depending on the extent of javascript "interference", the following Web browser (http/https) entry should work
Set your credentials in Login - Credentials, then on to the Html Control ID tab
If it doesnt work we can use a keyboard macro. I will wait on news from you before I describe the required macro.
Best regards,
Maurice
