ipmi/console-vnc-password

Password for the BMC's standard VNC KVM endpoint, if it differs from ipmi/password

On the BMCs that expose a standard VNC KVM endpoint, the VNC server is usually a separate service with its own password. On iDRAC9 it lives under iDRAC Settings, Services, VNC Server: off by default, gated behind an Enterprise or Datacenter licence, and its password is unrelated to the Redfish user.

When set, provision-server uses this password for the bmc-kvm console's VNC connection. When unset, it falls back to ipmi/password, which is right for the BMCs where the two happen to match. The standard VNC security type is password-only, so there is no matching username param.
