Target Milestone: ---Keywords: Triaged
Target Release: 3.4.0   
Hardware: Unspecified   
OS: Unspecified   
Whiteboard: virt
Fixed In Version: ovirt-3.4.0-alpha1 Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: This feature adds an (engine-wide) option to configure default VNC client console mode (both SPICE and RDP have this option already). Reason: Enhancement. Result (if any): Now admin can set 'Native' or 'NoVnc' client modes using engine-config via 'ClientModeVncDefault' engine option. If NoVnc is chosen and is not available on the engine (i.e. WebSocketProxy config not set), Native is used as a fallback.

Description Frantisek Kobzik 2013-11-28 10:31:24 UTC
Description of problem:
Add an (engine-wide) option to configure default VNC client
console mode (both SPICE and RDP have this option already).

Reason:
Since there are multiple invocation methods for VNC available, it makes sense to have the default invocation method configurable (as in SPICE and RDP case).

Comment 4 Yedidyah Bar David 2014-01-23 10:15:53 UTC
1. Installed ovirt-engine from 3.4 beta and setup
2. Verified that if creating a VM with display protocol VNC, it defaults to Native client
3. Did 'engine-config -s ClientModeVncDefault=NoVnc' and then 'service ovirt-engine restart'
4. Created a VM with display VNC, started it, opened console, NoVNC was started
