[SOLVED] PVE API - What is the `generate-password` used for in `/vncproxy`?

[XJHya]

Hello,

I'm working with the PVE API and trying to understand how the `generate-password` option in `POST /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/vncproxy` works.

It returns a `password`, but I’m not sure how to use it. Can this be used with `GET /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/vncwebsocket`? If so, how should I pass it correctly?

Would appreciate any help.

Hi,
a client connecting to the VNC will be prompted for this password.
