This issue was reported by Cristian Mammoli in the oVirt users list: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-November/035827.html In 3.6 it is not possible to change display disconnect policy in templates. Well, you can change it and save but when you go back to the config it goes back to lock_screen. It does not work even with shell: [oVirt shell (connected)]# update template vdiMaster --display-disconnect_action NONE | grep display-disconnect_action display-disconnect_action : LOCK_SCREEN It works fine in VMS though.
The reason for this is that the "v_console_disconnect_action" that was added to the "UpdateVmStatic" procedure wasn't added to the "UpdateVmTemplate" procedure, thus it is simply ignored.
oVirt 3.6.2 RC1 has been released for testing, moving to ON_QA
ok, rhevm-backend-3.6.2-0.1.el6.noarch [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show template vdcadmin | grep disconnect_action display-disconnect_action : LOCK_SCREEN [RHEVM shell (connected)]# update template vdcadmin --display-disconnect_action NONE ... [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show template vdcadmin | grep disconnect_action display-disconnect_action : NONE work both via shell and web UI.
