Abstract: A method of enabling remote access to a console of a virtual machine (VM) running in a host and managed by a VM management server, from a remote computing device, includes the steps of: in response to a request to access the console of the VM from the remote computing device, issuing a request for a first ticket, the first ticket including an identifier of the host in which the VM is running; upon receiving the first ticket, issuing a request for a second ticket to access a proxy server; and upon receiving the second ticket, transmitting a uniform resource locator (URL) identifying the proxy server and the second ticket to the remote computing device. The remote computing device accesses the console of the VM through the URL and the proxy server.
