Description:
Allow text to be pasted into VMWare hypervisor based VM console session. I have seen this supported in other automation tools where they have a textbox that allows you to enter text that is then sent to console, in some cases by injecting key scan codes into key buffer.


When we deploy tenant VMs we store administrator/root password in Cypher. It would make life easier for our customers if they copy password and then paste into console.


So we support pasting into RDP and SSH. The Support for copy/paste into a Hypervisor console is actually set on the hosts and I believe not limited by Morpheus. Ever since 5.5 ESXi defaults to preventing copy paste as a security precaution since users can stay authenticated within the console. If you apply the vCenter and ESXi overrides to allow the copy / paste I believe our form field fully supports that.

Thanks for quick response, will go look.
