Description Stephen Gordon 2012-07-09 19:21:43 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #827793 +++

Inside the doc it reports the following for spice clients.

Browser
• Internet Explorer 7 and higher on Windows, with the SPICE ActiveX control installed
• Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and higher on Linux, with the SPICE plugin installed

The IE Spice ActiveX control is only available under RHEV and needs removed from the oVirt install doc.

Thanks
Robert

Comment 2 Stephen Gordon 2012-07-09 19:24:57 UTC 
What clients (and versions of them) are we supporting for the Admin Portal in 3.1?
What changes, if any, are there to the list of clients we are supporting for the User Portal in 3.1?
Is the SPICE client for Windows still an activex applet in 3.1?
Comment 3 Robert Middleswarth 2012-07-09 21:22:45 UTC 
Firefox-XPI for spice under windows.  So the only option to support windows is the active-x applet.

Thanks
Robert
Comment 4 Robert Middleswarth 2012-07-09 21:25:20 UTC 
Firefox-xpi doesn't exist under windows yet.  So the only option under windows is to use the Active-X applet.

Thanks
Robert
