Tracking 2 changes related to trying to access VMRC console without credentials. Those changes got missed in the latest 5.8/5.9 release (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539431#c11): * ui-classic - update the notice on the provider edit screen to say: "If not set, the VMRC console access will be disabled for this provider." * providers-vmware - If there are no console credentials then report that remote console is unsupported.
The needed changes are now cherry-picked to upstream manageiq-ui-classic/manageiq-providers-vmware repos. manageiq-ui-classic: commit 0b11ca455aca9806cb772d464bba3cb6e99289db Author: Jason Frey <jfrey> Date: Thu Jan 18 15:42:31 2018 -0500 Merge branch 'fine-vmrc-warning' into '5.8.z' Add a warning for VMRC credentials when adding/editing a provider See merge request !5 (cherry picked from commit 742d595a4cb18445e646feb06df30bcf04484835) manageiq-providers-vmware: commit 3dd8cdf9289600b1676bf5ae3bfecd287ae25670 Author: Jason Frey <jfrey> Date: Thu Jan 18 15:42:25 2018 -0500 Merge branch 'bz_1507165_disallow_console_if_no_console_credentials_are_defined' into '5.8.z' Return console unsupported if no console creds See merge request !1 (cherry picked from commit 45b1161ebb893aad64a662a517e9e4e24dbd90cc)
On Build 5.10.0.2.20180626170006_40dc459 I saw that VMRC Console credential warning was correct as mentioned in Comment 1. Also VMRC Console was disabled for the provider when credentials were not present.
