Setting the MIME Type in Netscape 6 and Mozilla

If you are using Netscape 6 or Mozilla and want to launch a remote console from the

VMware Management Interface, as described above, you must first set a MIME type for

the remote console program.

Windows

In Netscape or Mozilla on Windows, follow these steps to set the MIME type.

1. Write a short batch file that contains the following line:

"<path_to_vmwareConsole>" -o %1

The default path is

C:\Program Files\VMware\Programs\Console\vmwareConsole.exe.

Save the file in a location of your choice as

vmwareConsole-helper.bat.

2. Use the browser to connect to the server you want to manage.

3. Click the terminal icon for the virtual machine you want to view in a remote

console.

4. A dialog asks what you want to do with the file. Click Pick App.

5. Another dialog lets you enter the path to the application or browse to it.

Fill in the path or browse to vmwareConsole-helper.bat.

6. Your browser is now set to launch the remote console when you click the

terminal icon in the future.

Linux

In Netscape or Mozilla on Linux, follow these steps to set the MIME type.

1. Write a short shell script that contains the following two lines:

#!/bin/sh

"<path_to_vmware-console>" -o $1 > /dev/null 2>&1;

The default path is /usr/bin/vmware-console.

Save it in a location of your choice as vmware-console-helper.sh.

2. Change to the directory where you saved the file and use chmod to give

yourself permission to execute the file.

chmod +x vmware-console-helper.sh

3. Select Edit > Preferences....

4. Expand Navigator.
