Description Michael Pasternak 2013-02-05 16:41:51 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #907931 +++

Description of problem:
the console command runs vncviewer <host>:<port> -passwdInput, but -passwdInput is not supported with tigervnc

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.9-1.fc18.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect with ovirt-shell 
2. console <vmname> where vm has display set as VNC
  
Actual results:
no console is displayed

Expected results:
console is displayed

Additional info:
command run now is:
echo <ticket> | <host>::<port> -passwdInput

what would work is:
echo <ticket> | vncpasswd -f | vncviewer <host>::<port> -passwordFile /dev/stdin

relevant code is in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirtcli/platform/posix/vnc.py

Comment 1 Michael Pasternak 2013-02-25 08:54:39 UTC

The support for the "passwdInput" option was removed in version 1.2.80-0.1.20120905svn4996 of the tigervnc package in Fedora. RHEL is quite far from that version, 

moving this BZ to feature till it relevant.

Comment 2 Michael Pasternak 2013-03-24 14:09:46 UTC

not sure it will be relevant in any near future (upstream already have this 
support)
