Why not just install a client binary?

question 2 connections

Audience question: for the native-console flow, why not skip the HTTP tunnel and just let the client install a binary that talks VNC directly? Answer: going through ManageIQ lets the cloud management app enforce RBAC, one-time passwords, quotas and scoped temporary access — features a direct VNC connection cannot provide.

answer_summary
Going through the management app enables RBAC, OTPs, quotas and temporary-access scopes.
