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: 192.168.0.99 - - [09/Nov/2014:05:36:00 -0500] "GET /dashboard/project/instances/?action=row_update&table=instances&obj_id=b80a79ed-6b2c-44f8-b286-a9b1b9c666d7 HTTP/1.1" 200 1072 "https://192.168.0.250/dashboard/project/instances/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" 192.168.0.99 - - [09/Nov/2014:05:36:04 -0500] "GET /dashboard/project/instances/b80a79ed-6b2c-44f8-b286-a9b1b9c666d7/?tab=instance_details__console HTTP/1.1" 200 3124 " https://192.168.0.250/dashboard/project/instances/" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" 192.168.0.99 - - [09/Nov/2014:05:36:04 -0500] "GET /dashboard/i18n/js/horizon/ HTTP/1.1" 200 2158 "https://192.168.0.250/dashboard/project/instances/b80a79ed-6b2c-44f8- b286-a9b1b9c666d7/?tab=instance_details__console" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime - i have installed openstack 3 times and had this issue every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
