There are 3 approaches for showing Web Console of a VM in vCenter 6.0
// 1) mksTicket authentication. This is not publicly documented.
// Get ticket from https://vcenter_ip/mob/?moid=vm-57&method=acquireMksTicket
//var url = "wss://vcenter_ip:9443/vsphere-client/webconsole/authd?mksTicket=52c10d92-1867-4a0e-4c2e-d97df164a817&host=vcenter_ip&port=902&cfgFile=%2Fvmfs%2Fvolumes%2F56600453-39658cc7-9ec6-002219644073%2FNode1%2FNode1.vmx&sslThumbprint=9F:C5:E9:6C:97:ED:CE:0B:BD:86:9F:5F:E7:AB:1C:E2:CA:46:E2:C2";
// 2) webmksTicket authentication. This is described on a blog http://vittoriop77.blogspot.it/2016/03/vsphere-6-html-console.html
// Get ticket from https://vcenter_ip/mob/?moid=vm-57&method=acquireTicket with ticketType 'webmks'
//var url = "wss://vm_ip:443/ticket/5705500be7278979";
// 3) CloneSessionTicket authentication
// Get ticket from https://vcenter_ip/mob/?moid=SessionManager&method=acquireCloneTicket
