The preceding chapters covered the process of logging into the VI Web Access interface before launching the VMware Remote Console in order to interact with a guest operating system. In fact, this can be made more efficient through the use of web and desktop shortcuts to virtual machines such that a user can access a virtual machine console simply by clicking on a desktop icon or link on a web page or email message. In the case of web shortcuts, the shortcut can be configured to provide access solely to the selected virtual machine's console, the consoles of all virtual machines in the inventory for which the user has permissions, or even the entire VI Web Access interface.
* '''Limit view to a single virtual machine''' - Removes the ''Inventory'' panel so that only the virtual machine for which the web shortcut was created can be accessed.
* '''Obfuscate this URL''' - Generates a URL which is obfuscated to hide information that might otherwise allow a users user to deduce the URLs for other virtual machines for which they would not ordinarily have access.
As each option is selected or deselected, the URL displayed in the dialog updates in real-time to reflect the latest configuration settings. Once the configuration is complete, double click on the URL and copy and paste it to a suitable location.
