Queries the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) logon address of an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.
Operation description
- You cannot directly use the VNC logon address (VncUrl) in the response to log on to an ECS instance. To log on to the ECS instance, you can use the web management terminal URL that contains the VNC logon address.
vncUrl=\*\*\*\*
, instanceId=****
, and isWindows=true/false
parameters at the end of https://g.alicdn.com/aliyun/ecs-console-vnc2/0.0.8/index.html?
. Separate each parameter with an ampersand (&
). Parameter description:
-
vncUrl
: the VNC logon address. -
instanceId
: the instance ID. -
isWindows
: specifies whether the operating system of your ECS instance is Windows. A value oftrue
specifies that the operating system is Windows. A value offalse
specifies that the operating system is not Windows. -
You can connect to an ECS instance without using a VNC logon password. Therefore, you do not need to specify the
password
parameter. -
The keepalive time of a connection to a VNC management terminal is 300 seconds. If you do not interact with the VNC management terminal within 300 seconds, the VNC management terminal is automatically disconnected.
-
If the connection is interrupted, you must call the DescribeInstanceVncUrl operation to obtain a new VNC logon address (
VncUrl
) and use the new logon address to construct a new web management terminal URL that you can use to reconnect to the VNC management terminal. You can reconnect to a VNC management terminal up to 30 times per minute.
Sample web management terminal URL:
https://g.alicdn.com/aliyun/ecs-console-vnc2/0.0.8/index.html?vncUrl=ws%3A%2F%****&instanceId=i-wz9hhwq5a6tm****&isWindows=true
