A sever side error is observed when trying to connect to the remote console of a virtual machine provisioned in vCenter 8.0.0 and aboveprovisioning-service-app logs contain the following error message com.sun.xml.ws.fault.ServerSOAPFaultException: Client received SOAP Fault from server: A specified parameter was not correct: ticketType Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.
vCenter ended support for the older mks ticket type in version 8.0.0 and adopted the newer webmks format in its place. For vRA 8.10.1 and below the mks ticket type is still used when the remote console proxy is enabled, which leads to connection issues for vCenter endpoints with version 8.0.0 and above.
This is a known issue affecting vRealize Automation 8.10.1 and below.
This issue is resolved in VMware vRealize Automation 8.10.2.
