Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for securing access to a virtual machine via a service processor. A broadcasted request from a computing device of a user to establish a virtual session with the virtual machine through a service processor is received. Such a broadcasted request includes an identifier of the virtual machine as well as a key. A secure connection between the service processor and the computing device of the user is established in response to the broadcasted identifier of the virtual machine matching the identifier of the virtual machine in the service processor table. After establishing the secure connection between the service processor and the computing device of the user, a secure connection between the service processor and the virtual machine is established in response to the broadcasted key matching the key associated with the identifier of the virtual machine in the service processor table.
