I know little about the html5 console. Is this a new feature of vCenter? Which version?

Its in 6.5, and in 6.7. can use VMRC or the HTML5 web console.

The URL for opening HTML5 console looks like https://vc.fqdn/ui/webconsole.html?vmId=&vmName=&serverGuid=&host=<host.fqdn>&sessionTicket=<some.string>&thumbprint=<another.string>

I'm not sure how to generate sessionTicket and thumbprint. If you could figure them out, it's easy to launch the console.

Sorry, so long to respond. Busy with 6.7 upgrade.. I will see if I can figure out how that URL is generated as I get time. Still using WebCommander, to help automate daily tasks for ops guys.
Thanks...
