Run process to connect to Cisco UCSM in the datacenter. This involves javaws (icedtea-web), a VNC server, and the xfce desktop environment.
The idea is to be able to connect to a service with a legacy version of java web start, locally. The connection fails with java runtime native to Mac OS X. Using a Windows 7 VM isn't bad, but could be prone to breaking, or lack of availability. Other hard-to-duplicate configuration may be defined in this manner, in the future.

- docker on your laptop.
- Any vnc viewer. (OS X has one named "Screen Share").
Build from upstream project to set the connection to UCSM to launch https://ucs-sg1.mps.spscommerce.net/ucsm/ucsm.jnlp
docker build --tag ucs .
Run on localhost:5901.
docker run --rm -it -p 5901:5901 -p 6901:6901 ucs
Set vnc password (from the default vncpassword).
docker run --rm -it -p 5901:5901 -p 6901:6901 -e VNC_PW=mypass ucs
Connect VNC viewer to localhost:5901, or the html 5 vnc client on http://localhost:6901.
At this point, UCSM asks us to agree to every bad security thing it needs.
Connect with your AD credentials.
Ctrl-c on the terminal running docker.
Docker may choose the bridge network 172.17.0.0/24 when installed. This is not routable on our network. Neither is 192.168.1.0/24.
Try to create a network as follows and use it, or modify your main network for docker.
docker network create my120 --ip-range 192.168.120.0/24 --gateway 192.168.120.1 --subnet 192.168.120.0/24
Use network my120 as follows.
docker run --rm -it --network my120 -p 5901:5901 -p 6901:6901 ucs
