RDM ssh Jumphost connection to VMRC ?
Hi,
i would like to know if it's possible to connect to a vmware remote console over a linux ssh jumphost server ? RDP Connections works like a charm but when I try to connect to a VMRC with SSH Jumphost it doesn't work ?
with putty, it's not a big deal. you have to setup a profile to forward port 443, 902 and 902 to the vcenter server and connect to localhost 443. How can I get the same behavour wih RDM ?
Regards,
Frank

Hello,
Our own port of Putty is built-in RDM under the name(s) SSH Shell, SSH Tunnel, etc.
In your case, I'm tempted to say that you simply need to create a Proxy Tunnel (Socks5) or a SSH Port Forward entry with all of the appropriate ports
After that, you simply set the proper info in the VPN/Tunnel/Gateway tab of your vmWare entry.
I havent taken the time to test fully, but you have some pointers in https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/32837/ssh-sessions-and-same-socks5-proxy-configuration
Let me know if you cannot make it work.

Hi,
thanks for you quick replay. first, I created a ssh-forward profile SSH-Forward-VMRC with the 3 ports that should be forwarded to the vcenter server via the [Host] ssh jumpserver
Then I created a VMRC Profile like this. Virtual Center 127.0.0.1 and in VPN/SSH/Gateway settings the SSH-Forward-VMRC Profile but this does not work. 
Connection to jumphost server is established but the connection to 127.0.0.1:443 failed. I don't know how to reach the vcenter server over the ssh forward tunnel in RDM ? 
With putty, you have create the tunnel and open a browser and goto 127.0.0.1:443.
