Currently you cannot. You can mimic a user session to hit sunstone on
/vm/<id>/startvnc ... you will get a json-response with a key "token".
With that token you can connect to vnc proxy. It would be convenient if
a token could be retrieved through a xml-rpc call. We created feature request
#2655 for that [1].
