Description Mohammed Arafa 2014-11-09 10:38:36 UTC 
Description of problem:

packstack was configured to set up horizon to use ssl. and it did
but when i came to open the instance's console, it kept telling me the connection was reset.

i then came across this link: https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/6192/horizon-unable-to-view-vnc-console-in-iframe-with-ssl/

and attempted to use plain http to connect to the console and it worked.

https error logs show:

Comment 1 Mohammed Arafa 2014-11-09 12:01:16 UTC 
in nova.conf 
novncproxy_base_url is already set to https
#ssl_only=false

####
further testing shows that novnc doesnt actually want to start
Comment 2 Matthias Runge 2014-11-10 07:41:26 UTC 
The url for nova vncproxy is returned from nova.
Comment 3 Julie Pichon 2014-11-10 09:05:45 UTC 
Bug 1115896 may also be of interest.
Comment 4 Mohammed Arafa 2015-03-15 15:53:09 UTC 
hi
shoudl this bug be reported as a security issue? this method of accessing the console will definetly 100% require a username and password

thanks

This bug is against a Version which has reached End of Life.
If it's still present in supported release (http://releases.openstack.org), please update Version and reopen.
