With this update, an administrator can now disable console access if the console is not accessible from outside the cloud infrastructure. A configuration option has been added to the CONSOLE_TYPE parameter in the /etc/openstack_dashboard/local_settings file. Valid options are now: "AUTO", "VNC", "SPICE", "RDP", or "None". To disable console access, specify CONSOLE_TYPE="None".

Description RHOS Integration 2014-07-12 04:06:23 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/hide-vnc-console-access.

Description:

in local_settings.py an admin can set thy type of console with 'CONSOLE_TYPE', but can not diseable it.
If the console is not accessible from outside a cloud-provider's infrastructure, it should be possible to deactivate this feature in horizon.

There are several reasons one might want to deactivate the console:
- If your language has a non US keyboard and non pure ASCII characters, all the provided VNC are at best catastrophicaly unuseable.
- The network security might not provide access.
