Doc Text:
This features introduces the noVNC console client to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. With this feature, users can connect to VNC consoles from within their browser using the noVNC client. For this feature to work, the websocket proxy must be set up and running in the virtualization environment, and the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager must be aware of the websocket proxy by correctly configuring the WebSocketProxy configuration key using engine-config. Moreover, the client machine must have a browser that supports websockets and postMessage, and the Certificate Authority of the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager must be imported into the client browser is SSL is enabled.

Description Andrew Cathrow 2012-07-09 08:08:58 UTC
NoVNC package is going into RHEL 6.4
We want to allow use of NoVNC for access to VNC consoles of VMs.

Use case:

Today we only support Spice client access from admin console. We need to support VNC as well.

Initially this should only be for the web admin so we don't have to be concerned with scaling this to support users from the user portal.

target 3.3 for now. Planning per-VM/user option in UP/WebAdmin to select the preferred client/means of connect
