Description Vladan Popovic 2013-10-31 16:35:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

If we break the novnc connections into three parts as below:

 client browser (1) -----> novnc proxy (2)  ------> compute node (3)

Then the present status is: connection from browser to proxy is encrypted, while the nonvnc proxy(on controller nodes) to compute nodes are NOT.

We would like the novnc traffic from controller node to compute nodes be encrypted as wel.

I think we need to raise a BP for this upstream to get things moving.

Comment 7 Solly Ross 2014-10-23 19:50:25 UTC 
This was accepted for Juno but the code didn't get merged due to review bandwidth.

The blueprint has been re-introduced and should make it in for Kilo.
Comment 8 Solly Ross 2014-11-11 20:50:51 UTC 
The blueprint was accepted, and code has been posted to upstream Gerrit.
Comment 10 Eoghan Glynn 2015-03-03 17:25:49 UTC 
The upstream patch:

  https://review.openstack.org/115483

has missed the Kilo window and been deferred to Liberty-1, bumping this BZ appropriately.
Comment 16 Daniel Berrangé 2015-09-08 15:13:08 UTC 
This patch missed Liberty too, but I will take it up again for Mitaka. The code is basically done, so hopefully it is a exercise in rubber stamping the code review.

Unfortunately it looks like we missed Mitaka (not for want of trying), moving to next release.
Comment 19 Stephen Gordon 2016-07-07 16:06:07 UTC 
Missed Newton freeze, moving out to Ocata.
