Hello Toni,
Currently, the only way to use the VMware Dashboard via Devolutions Gateway is to use a Devolution Gateway Tunnel.
The Devolutions Gateway Tunnel will be connected to the Devolutions Gateway and forward the traffic.
First create a new Devolutions Gateway Tunnel entry, and configure a TCP forward listener: https://docs.devolutions.net/dgw/kb/gateway-tunnel/
Make the listener redirect to the host and port where the VMware Dashboard is running.
Then, you can modify your VMware Dashboard entry to use the Devolutions Gateway Tunnel.
Don’t forget to modify the Host field to match the listener of the tunnel (e.g.: 127.0.0.1:9392) instead of the actual target which is now configured at the tunnel level.
Please let me know if you require further assistance or have additional questions.
Best regards,
Benoit Cortier

if i right click a vm in the dashboard and click connect to establish a vmrc, a new tab opens but it stays blank

but it didn't help
Hello
The problem here is a little bit complicated.
When you connect to a VM; we obtain a token from VMWare that gives us a websocket address to connect and tunnel the VNC connection over. The websocket address is dynamic and, depending on your environment, might not even point to the same server (for example, if the VM is not hosted on the same machine as the hypervisor).
That is why the VM connection doesn't work: it's not traversing the Gateway tunnel.
We have a couple of options on our side to support this, but it does entail some work and the best I can do right now is open a feature request to address that. I'll link that ticket back to this post so we can update you once there is any progress. In the meantime, I'd encourage other users that want this feature to add their feedback here - it will help us assess the priority.
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to post back with further questions or comments.
Kind regards,
Richard Markievicz
